Many people asked me for detailed instructions for making bread using Crazy Dough or Vegan Crazy Dough. I baked several different versions to be able to tell you exactly how it goes.
I made Crazy Dough Bread using whole wheat flour and mixture of whole wheat flour with corn and rye flour. I can confirm that all of them work as well as bread made with white all-purpose flour. The only thing to keep in mind is to add about 2-3 Tbsp of liquid (water, milk or yogurt) if using whole wheat flour because this type of flour is a bit dry. The dough needs to be soft, almost like pizza dough.
If you are using frozen Crazy Dough, let it thaw first, then shape it and proceed according to the recipe below.
Now, we can have fresh baked homemade Crazy Dough Bread whenever we want, any time of the day or night.
- 1 batch regular Crazy Dough or Vegan Crazy Dough
- 1-2 Tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- oil for the pan
- Mix crazy dough ingredients according to instructions. Let stand in a warm room (or in a warm oven) until it doubles in size.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface, punch the air out of the dough. Half the dough and form into two loaves. Place loaves in two oiled loaf pans. Cover with cotton cloth. and let loaves rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Brush the surface of both breads with milk. Bake in preheated 350 F (175 C) oven for about 30-35 min or until skewer inserted in the center of the bread remains clean. Take out of the pan and let cool to a room temperature.

What is Crazy Dough?

Crazy Dough is a kind of dough that you can keep it in the fridge for days and use it for anything you need, like: pizza, focaccia, dinner rolls, crescent rolls etc. See here: Crazy Dough.

Thanks for this recipe, lost mom’s over 60 yrs. ago. Back then we called it Fridge dough. Can’t wait to try it again.

Debbie says
For cinnamon rolls, you say to add sugar to crazy dough. Just mix in or in mixer? Thank you.
KitchenNostalgia says
Anyway you like. You can mix in with mixer or by hands. If you are making Crazy Dough from scratch, mix sugar together with other ingredients. If you have some already made Crazy Dough, you can add sugar and knead the dough with your hands (or mixer) until sugar is incorporated.

Vanessa says
I’ve been using your recipe for crazy dough for a few months now and it’s amazing. I’d made dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls and now the bread loaves. Thank you so much for this recipe! My family loves it and everything come out perfect all the time. Thanks again!
KitchenNostalgia says
Awesome! I’m so happy you and your family love my recipe. 🙂
Judy says
Sounds like a keeper…but just one edit hint…things do not “unthaw” (I am guessing that means they would freeze) they just thaw! 🙂
KitchenNostalgia says
I apologize! English is a foreign language to me. I thought that “unthaw” means something like “un-freeze”.
Sandra Logan says
Sounded good to me?
Shirley Moore says
I love making homemade bread, and I’m excited to try this recipe. Can you comment on how well it holds up for sandwiches? My children love my whole wheat bread, but it’s a bit crumbly to pack for lunch. Thanks!
Ashley says
When you say “a batch” for this dough (or even “a half batch” for cinnamon rolls), about how much is that? The vegan crazy dough recipe makes so much! I don’t think this bread recipe calls for 4 lb of dough for one loaf of bread so I’m assuming I missed something along the way.Thanks!
KitchenNostalgia says
“A batch” is a whole quantity (about 4 lb or 1.8 kg) of either Crazy Dough or Vegan Crazy Dough which is made with 6 2/3 cups (or 1 kg) flour.
One whole batch makes 2 bread loaves.
The recipe for Cinnamon Rolls calls for 1/2 batch (about 2 lb or 900 g dough), which means you would use just 3 1/3 cups (1/2 kg) flour.
Under the recipe for whole batch Vegan Crazy Dough you will find another recipe for just a half of that quantity (half batch).
The recipe for half batch regular Crazy Dough is in the first comment as my reply to Marja.
Diana says
I am so glad I found this site! I promised my hubby pizza for tonight and this recipe will give me enough to surprise him with some cinnamon rolls too. They are his favorite dessert and snack! Thank you soooooo much!
KitchenNostalgia says
That’s so cool, Diana!
