Kneading bread dough can be a very enjoyable step of bread baking. Master the simple process Begin kneading the dough, pushing it down and then outward, only using the heels of your hands. Kneading is a basic and repetitive technique, but there are still a few things to keep in mind to make.
To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have easy hand kneaded basic sweet bread dough using 9 ingredients and 34 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Easy Hand Kneaded Basic Sweet Bread Dough:
- Prepare 130 grams Bread flour "A"
- Take 30 grams All purpose flour "A"
- Make ready 20 grams Almond powder "A" (optional. If not adding, there's no need to increase the amount of other dry ingredients. The wetness of the dough will be adjusted with the amount of milk.)
- Make ready 30 grams Butter (or margarine)
- Make ready 2 tbsp Sugar
- Take 1/3 tsp Salt
- Make ready 1 Egg yolk
- Make ready 1 use 90 ml or more when adding almond powder to the dough. Milk (substitute 20 ml of the milk with heavy cream if available. This makes the bread even more delicious)
- Make ready 2 1/2 grams Dry yeast
When you're kneading and shaping dough by hand, make sure you have a clean space on your worktop. So move any kitchen gadgets and any clutter Especially when it's time to shape the dough. I usually put some in a bowl on the worktop nearby so I can sprinkle some flour from the bowl as and. You can knead most bread doughs by hand or in a stand mixer (we'll show each technique in detail below).
Steps to make Easy Hand Kneaded Basic Sweet Bread Dough:
- Put all of the "A" ingredients in a bowl, make a well in the center, then add the dry yeast into the well.
- To the side of the mound of dry ingredients furthest from you, place the salt, then on the side closest to you, place the sugar. Then, divide the butter softened at room temperature in two portions, and place one to the right, and one to left side of the mound.
- Mix together the milk and egg yolk and warm it to approximately 40 degrees (using a microwave or a double boiler).
- If warming in a pan, warm the milk first, then remove the pan from the fire, allow it to cool to the touch, then add the beaten egg.
- The dry yeast will not leaven if it is either too hot or too cold. Make sure that the liquid mixture is about 35-40 degrees.
- Pour the liquid mixture from Step 3 into the well over the dry yeast in one go.
- Put your index finger of your dominant hand in the well and thoroughly mix. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients from the outside of the well into the center, a little at a time.
- Once all of the ingredients are thoroughly moistened, mix the dough in the bowl. I mix using my hands, but I also recommend using a spatula.
- Once the dough comes together, press down on it using your palm, round it out, then press down on it again. Repeat this process for about 5 minutes, kneading the dough in the bowl.
- Place the dough from Step 9 on your working surface. This process may be exhausting but it will become easier once you get used to it. Hang in there if this is new to you.
- They are many ways to knead, so I'm not sure which method to suggest. I recommend referring to your favorite bread baking book.
- The way I do it is as follows: I grip the dough with my dominating hand and press it away from my body while leaning into it to stretch it.
- Again, grab the dough and slam it on your working surface from a height of about 30 cm, with a snap of your wrist.
- Do not let go of the dough when slamming it on your working surface. It's difficult to tell from the photo, but it's like playing with a yo-yo.
- If you let go of the dough in Step 14, it will take longer to complete the kneading process. The dough will not stay smooth forever.
- Repeat Step 12 and 13 about 100 times, kneading it in several directions. It's not necessarily how many times you knead it, but it's ready once the dough stops sticking to your hand.
- The dough should become smooth and become very elastic, creating a thin film when stretched. Along with the tip mentioned in Step 16, this is a sign that the dough is ready.
- To demonstrate what the dough should look like when ready, I stretched it over a cup in the above photo. As long as you give it your best effort, your dough should eventually reach this point.
- Lightly grease a bowl with oil and form the dough into a smooth, round ball. Place the dough in the bowl with the seam down.
- I use the proofing function on my oven to let it proof 30 to 40 minutes at 38 degrees Celsius, but you can also place it in a warm location where it will not dry out.
- Perform the finger test: Once the dough has risen, coat your index finger in cake flour and poke the center of the dough. If the dough doesn't return to it's former shape, it's done rising.
- If the dough springs back to it former shape, it's not finished proofing. If baked at this point, the bread will turn out hard and heavy, so let it rise a little bit more.
- Punch down the dough with your fist to deflate the dough. One time is sufficient.
- Re-shape the dough into a ball, then, with the smooth surface showing, cover it with a tightly wrung out cloth and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- Use the dough to make your favorite bread. Then, allow the dough to sit for the second proofing.
- I don't have any special equipment for the second proofing, so I loosely cover the dough arranged on a baking sheet in a large transparent plastic bag, making sure the dough does not stick to the plastic.
- Then, I let it proof using the proofing system on my oven (20-30 minutes at 38 degrees Celsius). For baking, I recommend an oven temperature of 190C/375F.
- With my electric oven, I baked the bread for 15 minutes on the center rack. It also depends on the size of the bread (the bread in the photo is made from about 50 g of dough each).
- I explained how to knead by hands, but of course, you can also use bread machine. This recipe makes a very rich, fluffy, and delicious dough.
- The dough from user Kamomemama's "Fold-in Mango Bread" was delicious, so I added almond flour to my recipe.
- With only a small amount of almond powder, the dough becomes more flavorful, but it is completely optional.
- According to a friend who is a bread baking instructor, this ratio of ingredients is easy for beginners to handle. Try it yourself and see.
