Helpful Hints For Bread And Dough
Bread Dough Ball:
Necessary For A Successful Loaf of Bread
The amount of bread flour called for in each recipe is to be used as a
guide. We have found it may vary slightly because different climates
and seasons result in a wide variety of humidity levels. Watch the
dough as you add the last 1 - 1
1
⁄
2
cups of flour. A good dough ball
should be round, smooth-textured, soft and slightly tacky to the
touch. If it does not form a ball and is more like a batter, add flour
until it reaches the appropriate consistency.
Mixing & Kneading:
The Gluten Development Stage
Place ingredients in bowl, except last 1 - 1
1
⁄
2
cups flour. Use the Dough
Hooks at the beginning of the mixing stage to start the gluten
development. Then gradually add enough of the remaining flour to
make a soft dough. The dough should clean the sides of the bowl and
form a soft ball around the Dough Hooks.
When adding wheat bran, wheat germ, bulgur or cracked wheat to a
bread recipe, leave the dough as moist as possible, because these
ingredients absorb liquid and tend to produce a drier loaf. Reduce
the amount of kneading to avoid cutting the gluten strands with the
sharp edges of these grains.
A recipe with a high percentage of whole wheat flour may require a
shorter kneading time than a recipe with white flour. The rough
texture of the bran can be damaging to developing gluten.
