Turn Any Bread Dough into Waffles for National Waffle Day!
We love helping you help your customers celebrate all the wonderful national food holidays we have in this great country of ours. This month we see National Waffle Day on August 5th, so it’s time to get your waffle irons out! But are you worried that you don’t have waffle mix, and don’t want to create a batch just for this one day? Luckily, you don’t need to. With a waffle iron and just about any bread dough, you can make delicious waffles with what you already have on hand.
Simply spray or brush the inside of a waffle iron with cooking oil or cooking spray and place inside it any package dough. Shape it first so that it looks like a small circle, about half an inch to an inch in height. Then just place it onto one of the waffle spots (if your iron holds more than one) and close the lid. Turn and it will evenly cook both sides, and when you lift the lid up you’ll see that beautiful checkered waffle pattern. This method even works when using pizza frozen dough balls, or any other dough you happen to have in your freezer.
Because you’re not using actual waffle batter for this method, you may get a slightly denser waffle than you would expect. However this only makes your waffles even better for dipping, dunking, and turning into sandwiches! (May we suggest pairing waffles best friend – fried chicken – in between two slices of yummy waffles?)
