So I know it has been a bit but here is the recipe info for the Americana style dough I used above-

* 22.5 oz unbleached high-gluten flour/bread flour (I like King Arthur's Bread Flour)

* 3T sugar

* 2t table salt

* 2t IDY (Instant dry Yeast)

* 1/4c vegetable oil

* 1c milk

* 3/4c water @105F

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl with a metal spoon until all the flour is incorporated. (~ 4mins).

Let rest for ~ 5 mins. Then mix for another 2-3mins. Until soft, sticky and passes the "windowpane test" Add more water or flour to adjust the dryness/stickyness of dough.

Divide dough into 4 equal 10oz balls. Round the balls and lightly brush with oil. Place in freezer bags.

Let rest for ~ 15mins then place in fridge overnight.

Remove from fridge and let stand for ~ 1.5hrs to give the dough some better workability.

The dough should be easy to work without being too plastic / blown.
