Basic Sweet Dough Recipe

This recipe takes advantage of this time saving ingredient to make pastries. I love adding a chocolate filling and braiding the dough.—Jenny Reece, Lowry, Minnesota

The recipe was easy and I really like the flavor. Next time I think I will try making this dough into rolls. I made it as a braided coffee cake and it was a bit too dry for my taste.
