Dough Balls Recipe Easy Quick

Garlic dough balls are a favourite in my house. They make an amazing side dish to almost *any* dinner and are amazing as an appetiser or nibbles for parties or nibbles. They’re simple to make and are so worth the time.

Every time I bake these dough balls they’re eaten by my husband within about 10 minutes. No matter how many I make, he just can’t get enough of them. It’s nice to have a recipe like this which makes a ‘normal’ dinner such as pasta, feel like a very special treat.

I flavour these dough balls with garlic at two stages – once, in the dough itself, and then by coating them in garlic butter. I don’t actually use fresh garlic for this recipe – I use garlic granules as their flavour is just perfect (for our tastes at least!). If you’d prefer, you can use a freshly crushed garlic clove in the garlic butter.

The dough itself is an adaptation of my pizza dough recipe – you can easily double this recipe for enough to make a pizza, or next time you make pizza, make a few dough balls from that mix too!

These garlic dough balls freeze really well too – just allow to cool and place into a freezer bag once cooked. They keep for about a month in the freezer.

3. Mix together – I use my dough hook and a high setting on my stand mixer. If you don’t have a stand mixer, knead with your hands for 5 minutes (the dough is quite sticky but keep working at it, add some oil to your hands if needed

4. Once kneaded, add 1-2 tbsp oil and drizzle into the mixing bowl – form a ball with the dough, and sit in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes

5. After 30 minutes, lightly flour a work surface and pre-heat your oven to 190C and place a large baking tray in the oven too

7. Divide the dough into equal-sized dough balls (mine were 15g each). Make sure to place the raw dough balls onto the floured surface once rolled

11. Whilst the dough balls are baking, mix together butter and garlic granules in a large bowl (this will be the garlic butter)

12. Once the dough balls are cooked, toss them into the bowl with butter – the butter will melt and coat the dough balls in an even layer of buttery, garlicy goodness

These dough balls freeze very well - just don't coat with the garlic butter, allow to cool straight for the oven and freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to a month. To defrost, sit in the fridge or at room temperature for a few hours. Reheat in the oven for 3 minutes.

Thanks!Everybody loves a garlic dough ball don't they, and these little beauties are just so easy to make at home. They bake together in a round tin to create a lovely tear-and-share centrepiece for entertaining.

Strong White Flour It is important to use strong white bread flour, so that it has a high enough gluten content to make a light and fluffy bread. Don't substitute in plain or self-raising flour as your dough balls will be very disappointing!

Dried Fast-Action Yeast makes breadmaking at home very quick and easy. You can get it either in sachets (which tend to be 7g, so you will have 2g left over), or in tubs.

How To Freeze Cookie Dough

Vegan butter A good quality block margarine is best for this delicious garlic and herb butter. I like Flora Plant Block and Naturli Block margarine.

Tip the flour, yeast and salt into a large bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil and bring together into a soft dough.

Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes then put it back into the bowl, cover and leave for 45 minutes until it has doubled in size. Divide the dough into 16 equal dough balls and arrange in a round baking tin (around 23cm / 9 inches).

Leave the dough balls to rise again, this time for around 30-45 minutes. Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown. Whilst they are baking, make the garlic butter, then brush over the dough balls as they come out the oven, and serve the rest on the side for dipping.

Only use as much liquid as you need in the dough. All flours are different, so you may need slightly more or less water and oil to form a dough that is soft but not sticky.

You can slow down the proving time by keeping the dough in the fridge. This might be handy if you want to make the dough ahead of time, then bake your dough balls just before serving. You could do the first prove overnight in the fridge, or the second prove (once you have balled up the dough) for 4-6 hours. Just remember to bring the dough balls back to room temperature before baking them.

No Bake Cookie Dough Bites (5 Minutes!)

Yes - they freeze well. I would recommend part-baking them for 9-10 minutes, leaving to cool then freezing in an airtight container. You can then bake them for 4-5 minutes straight from the freezer until they are golden brown and warm throughout.

If you want perfectly even dough balls, you can weigh the dough for each one. There should be 30-35g of dough per ball, if you are making 16 dough balls from the quantities below.

You could flavour the butter with sun-dried tomato paste, olive tapenade or a little chilli paste, or just leave the garlic out altogether and make them herby dough balls instead.
