How to Knead Bread Dough by Hand | Detailed Instructions | Baking Tips

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Different types of dough require different kneading methods. A low hydration dough can be kneaded by pressing it into the work surface and folding it at the same time. This method is effective and convenient. A high hydration dough would not be possible to knead in the regular way. To knead such a dough, we use the ‘stretch and fold’ aka ‘slap and fold’ method.

    You are the most accurate person to ever explain baking principles. I wonder if you ever worked , or work as a baker. You seem to be a lot like me, experiment with different things until you find what works FOR YOU, instead of blindly following recipes where you often 1) don't get the results you expect (since they don't explain termperature control for example) or 2) if you do, you don't get to learn anything. Your videos radically changed the way I bake, I baked a lot over the years but my results were never consistent, and now I realize it's because I wasn't consistent with the temperature of the materials, I added flour or water changing the recipe as you say in this video hoping it would stick less, and blindly followed oven times and temperatures, and specially home oven appliances , are unreliable and don't really tell you the full story of what's going on (unreliable temperature knobs etc).

    Hi Jenny. Welcome to the channel. That is awesome! You have a whole world of stuff to discover now 😉 I would suggest starting with breads with a lower in hydration to not even risk getting frustrated, and then move up to wetter and stickier doughs. A great method for making your dough less sticky is autolysation. You can find full detailed videos on that in the Steps of Baking and Principles of Baking playlists on my channel 👍 if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Charlie.

    First I just want to say I love your videos! I've been getting into baking recently and just binged your whole Steps of Baking playlist, great stuff. I have a few questions if you don't mind: - My favorite cinnamon roll recipe has been a little inconsistent in terms of gluten development. For some reason, the last couple times I made it I couldn't get it to be very smooth despite kneading for a good 15 minutes (it's an enriched dough (milk, eggs, and butter) with no pre-ferment, about 65% hydration, using AP flour with 8-9% protein content). If it common for enriched dough to not get nice and smooth or to pass the window-pane test and do you have any advice for helping with this? - on that note, are there ever times when you don't really need to develop the gluten so far as to be smooth and pass the window-pane test? I know it's good to develop the gluten for structure and rise, and smoothness is nice for visuals and ease of working/shaping, but can you be alright with a shaggier dough in some recipes? - lastly, what is the fear in overworking your dough? I know it's hard to do by hand and more of a worry with a stand mixer, but I don't really know what to be wary of for kneading too much or how to tell if dough has been overworked. Alright, back to watching every video on your channel.

  • @ChainBaker

    @ChainBaker

    2 жыл бұрын

    I never really use the windowpane test. As long as the dough feels strong and resists your pull it should be ok. Such a low protein flour will be more difficult to get to that stage especially when making an enriched dough by hand. You could try using stronger flour. You can not over work dough by hand. But in a mixer it can easily be over mixed and then the gluten breaks down and you'll end up with a pancake. A tell tale sing of overmixed dough is when it becomes really shiny.

    Hey Charlie. I have been learning baking for the last 6 months or so and use your channel as my Bible. I have a curiosity about letting the dough "relax" after kneading, which many other bakers will specify in their recipes for unleavened doughs like pasta. I am wondering if during the relaxation period there is a) breakdown of the gluten network, or if b) the network you have formed through kneading literally loosens and relaxes. This is maybe a question for a biologist, but I figure if anyone on KZread will know, it is you!

  • @ChainBaker

    The gluten simply relaxes. That will happen no matter how much the dough is kneaded or how tightly it is shaped. Long fermentation will break down gluten, but that would take hours.

I was literally kneading for over 2 hours and gave up. I couldn't make it the consistency I needed. So, I made "premature" bread, I joke on it's "age". This video has helped me visually and your explanations help 1000%. One question: I get prone to high levels of fatigue, weakness and exhaustion so I can't knead dough as fast or have great form. I need to rest a lot in the day overall. Would kneading the dough for 2x-3x the usual amount be fine for the bread overall or would that change it? Should I just stick to a hand mixer?

    Superb stuff :) At 1:46 my eyes popped out of my head though! How can people tear at the gluten like that. My style is slap and fold. For some reason the slapping seems to speed up gluten development. But, I do that after 45min - an hour resting the mix to allow the flour to hydrate and then 60 sec to two min in the mixer with a rubberised D beater on the slowest speed. Far more effective than a dough hook for small volumes. The whole process is about three to four minutes and it works well with high hydration doughs too. But, again, I don't go for full gluten development at the first knead. I use some coil folding in the earlier stages of the bulk ferment. I should watch more of your channel. Despite my forty years of bread baking there is often something different I pick up from you. Thanks

    Whenever I do the stretch and roll back method for a dough that has 65% hydration, it only gets more shaggy and rough… how do I prevent this? Also, what should I do to prevent my dough from sticking to the counter if I don’t have a bench scraper but shouldn’t add any more flour to my work surface?

    Which kind of flour are you using? All purpose flour may be more shaggy and tear when kneaded by hand at that hydration. Not that it's a bad thing. The dough should become smooth later on anyway. The rolling and stretching method is relatively rough on the dough and it may make it feel and look like that during kneading. Once you start bulk fermentation and perhaps give it a fold or two or definitely by the time you go to dividing and preshaping and so on, the dough will have smoothed out no matter what it was like whilst you kneaded it. The fact that it sticks to your table could also affect the texture and feel while kneading. A scraper is an essential tool which will make your bread making far easier and more effective. It is like the extension of a baker's hand. You should definitely get one of those. There is nothing else I can imagine that could help with scraping up dough from the table. Hope that helps Bobby. You can find a cheap scraper and all the other things I use in my amazon shops linked below any of my videos 👍

    Dough will not be stretchy right after mixing. Try stretching it after letting it sit for a minute and it should be stretchy instead of tearing. It could also be that the hydration is a bit low and such a dough does not stretch that much.

    Not at all. I would say I go a bit deeper than halfway into the dough with the heel of my hand. There is no need to press hard. But kneading quickly is a good way to develop gluten faster though.

    How do you know when you’ve over mixed? Or you’ve mixed just the right amount?

  • @ChainBaker

    @ChainBaker

    2 жыл бұрын

    You can't over mix by hand. But with a mixer it it easily noticeable when the dough becomes lighter in colour and shinier. From that point it will be sticky and loose, and have less flavour in the final loaf. It is difficult to explain what a fully or near there mixed dough should feel like. The amount of time given in the recipe should be a good indicator of when it's ready for one. But you will feel it become less sticky and smoother. When you pull it should resist instead of tearing easily.

    Knead real quick vs. fold in time. 15 minutes actively kneading dough seems like a lot of effort when you can fold, rest, fold, rest, fold again and rest. Novice baker that I am, this seems to get us to the same place.

    I do strecth and fold for 30 minutes and still super sticky, I didnt feel any different at all, guess flour from my country is just too poor and not suitable for this, even when its just drop out from container before do stretch and fold, its not like on the video, its a lot stickier, I mean a lot I've been doing this for 2 month and never accomplish smooth dough that pass window pane test, even your first 3 fold stretch is better than my 30 minutes stretch & fold
