We’ve made our products as foolproof as we can, but here’s a few hints and tips to get you on your way. Starting with the most important bit, defrosting our dough.

How to Dough It

Cookie Dough

1. Defrost

Leaving the dough in the wrapper, defrost in the fridge overnight, or at room temp for at least 4 hours. As the dough comes to life you’ll notice it rise and grow – this is completely normal. (If you’re short on time, see our emergency timesaving 7 min defrost video!)

2. Heat

Bring your dough to room temp (so it’s super stretchy) and crank up the oven to 240˚C/ Gas Mark 9.

3. Flour

Dust a work surface, rolling pin and baking tray with flour.

4. Stretch N Roll

Stretch, roll and shape your dough into a rough, rustic, sorta-circular shape.

5. Top

Transfer the base to your floured tray, and top it off with a few of your favourite things.

6. Bake

Until the crust is golden brown, and delicious (around 8-10 mins).

2. Shape

Bring both doughballs together (without flour) and shape as desired.

3. Place

Place the dough onto a floured baking tray, or proving basket.

4. Rise

Cover and leave to double in size for up to 4 hours. Once risen, you can score the top to create your own design (if desired).

5. Heat

Pre-heat the oven to 220˚C/ Fan 200˚C or Gas Mark 7.

6. Bake

For 25 mins, leave to cool, slice and enjoy.

2. Create

To make a brioche sharing loaf, you’ll need 1 doughball.

3. Shape

Grease or line your loaf tin. If you're adding choc chips, flatten the dough, press a handful into the surface, fold over and repeat. Split and shape the dough into 6 even balls. Place in your tin, in 2 rows of 3.
