Does anybody have a simple and quick dough recipe I can use to make small amounts?

Or give the recipe and show about how much it makes please, thanks!Does anybody have a simple and quick dough recipe I can use to make small amounts?
If you are wanting something quick and easy to make a ';pocket'; out of, I highly suggest forgetting about making your own dough and buying a can of refrigerated pizza dough or french bread dough... I use it all the time to make ';pizza pockets'; on busy nights - just flatten out into little squares, fill with pizza toppings, fold over and bake. Yum!





And trust me... I'm a great cook and I don't normally use shortcuts, but this is an exception. Some of those refrigerated doughs are really good!Does anybody have a simple and quick dough recipe I can use to make small amounts?
Self raising flour and water. Mix till a thichk pancake batter; some folks call them flap jacks. Anyhows fry, and there we are.
Sorry, It's not plain dough


Cookie dough cheese ball recipe


Ingredients


8 ounces cream cheese (softened)


1/2 cup butter


1/4 teaspoon vanilla


1/2 cup powdered sugar


3 tablespoons brown sugar


3/4-1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips


3/4 cup finely chopped pecans


--------------------------------------鈥?br>

Blend first 3 ingredients until creamy.


Add powdered sugar and brown sugar mix well.


Fold in choc. chips.


Cover and refrigerate 3-4 hours.


Shape into ball, wrap in saran wrap-again refrigerate 30 minutes or more.


When ready to serve, take the ball out of the wrap and roll into the pecans.


Serve with graham crackers or teddy grahams.
Instead of going though all the trouble of making what you want, just buy some pre-mixed and made biscuits dough that is pre-wrapped and use that. I use to flatten the biscuits out and make small pizzas for my kids with it years ago.
Have you tried using frozen bread dough? Just follow the package directions on thawing, letting rise. You can cut it and roll it into any size you want. I usually find it near Texas Toast items.
Food Network.. lots of recipes here....some with videos

Hey Science Boy!





I love to cook, but many times I just don't have the time to haul everything out for cooking.





SO I CHEAT!





In your fresh dairy/frozen food area's of your supermarket they have two important items:





Fresh Dairy = Breadstick dough and Pizza Dough. You can turn these into a multitude of things. Also, try playing with biscuit or other fresh to bake rolls.





Frozen Food = They have a few loaves of frozen french bread or plain bread dough. Thaw in Fridge, cut what you need, refreeze the rest. Process what you've cut up as the package directs. Practice with it to make Pizza, knackwurst in a blanket.





Also, in Frozen; Phylo dough. It's the flaky Greek style dough. It's a little trickier to work with, but it's so damned cheap, it doesn't hurt to play with it.





I will make breads here every few month's, but after awhile I realize it's just me eating the bread!





Those options are more fun, and I can toss if I don't like. No muss, No fuss!





Good Fix ins!

This depends on the type of dough you are interested in.





Savory - sweet - basic - egg etc.





Best idea maybe to check out the food network.





good luck
