1. Pasta Dough

Francesco Sapienza

Your best bet is to use a pasta machine to thin out the dough for this one. No need to go fancy and buy an electric machine, simple cheap mechanical is best and gets just the right results.

1 egg

1 c flour

2 tbspn water

1/2 tspn salt

2. Pancake Dough

Who doesn't love pancakes? Pancakes are great, they're warm fuzzy comfort food to get you through the day. Start your day with pancakes, and you're sure to be on a roll throughout the day!

The trick with pancakes lies with the texture and size. You have to make them thin enough and small enough that they can easily flip over. If you need to add milk to make them slightly thinner, do so. Also I highly suggest using Pam or some other oil spray to get them perfectly soft and golden.

1 1/2 c flour

1 tbspn baking powder

3/4 tspn salt

2 tbspn sugar

1 tspn vanilla extract

1 1/2 c milk

3. Pizza/Pita Dough

This is a super easy versatile dough that you can pretty much do anything with. You can turn your oven up on the highest setting, bake for ten minutes, and wallah, you have pitas! Whatever floats your boat: pizza, pitas, or Italian focaccia, this is the recipe for you!

Like all dough recipes, feel the dough as you kneed it, adding more flour and water as you go along until you have the perfect workable texture. Then spread a drop of oil all around your dough ball and let sit when covered for about an hour or two to let it rise and become even more workable.
