Dinner Rolls (yield: 16 rolls)
3 c (420g) bread flour
2 tbsp (25g) sugar
2 tbsp (18g) milk powder
1.5 tsp (4.5g) instant yeast
1.5 tsp (9g) fine salt
1 c (227g) warm water
1 egg
2 oz (57g) butter, softened
melted butter for glazing
1. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
2. Whisk the warm water together with the egg.
3. Add the water/egg mixture and softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a countertop and knead until smooth (7-10 minutes).
5. Add to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes or until about 1.5 times its original size.
6. With the dough still in the bowl, bring the edges of the dough to the center and work your way around the bowl completing roughly 12-18 of these folds.
7. Flip the dough over in the bowl so the seam is now on the bottom, cover, and let rise another 45 minutes or until double its original size.
8. Degas the dough and divide into 16 equal pieces (roughly 50g per piece).
9. Shape the dough into rounds and place 8 rounds each into the bottom of two 8 in (20 cm) cake pans.
10. Cove and let rise until doubled in size or when you poke the dough and the indent slowly springs back halfway.
11. Bake in a 350F (177C) oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
12. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter.

I had no idea that a bread would become less sticky after kneading for a while. The extra flour I put in my dough to compensate probably explains it tending to be somewhat dry. Thank you!

@JHLee7Alpha Жыл бұрын

Yep the more you knead, the more gluten forms, which binds the dough together so less it wants to fall apart. Hence even with the highest percentage hydration the dough will eventually come together. Look up glass bread. The process is just wonkers.

My bread recipe also stops sticking after the first proof, so the first knead might be messy but after the gluten forms its nice and fun to work with!

Try adding vegetable oil or any other type of oil to the dough and hands. 1/4 cup of oil for every 2.5 cups of flour will allow your dough to remain moist when it’s done cooling after baking. The oil makes the dough more manageable and also acts as a preservative against mold growth when storing.

@wtfdid_i_justsee Жыл бұрын

Try adding more liquids? Or maybe knead it more. From my experience, if the gluten isn't fully developed the bread turns out hard and dry. Window pane test it to see if theres enough gluten.

I do know you said dry, but if you're finding it's stiff too, try letting the dough autolyse before you add the yeast/starter. It's less work for kneading and you get a way springier dough.

You can actually use less WATER to get a drier dough which is easy to knead. As the gluten structure develops you can add in the rest of the water little by little. Works best with a stand mixer, but can work by hand too. Just don't wait too long to add the water

@leafster1337 4 ай бұрын

u can form the dough then leave it for 5-10 minutes and then knead well. if its a quite wet dough i do this even if i have nothing to prep in the meanwhile. its just easier

@buihelgason Жыл бұрын

I've actually learned that dough barely needs to be kneeded. Autolyse is a magic step that reduces kneeding time from 10 minutes, to barely needing kneeding. I've gone from adding tons of flour while kneeding, to essentially adding no flour aftet intial mixing, giving me insanely airy bread, that's chewy and delicious. Bread making is really about skill and it takes tons of time to learn the proper techniques to work the dough correctly. But its so much worth it.

My mum likes to make soft homemade rolls and they are always very sticky while kneeding. How she gets away with them not sticking to her hands or the counter-top but still doing the same kneeding technique she favours is by spreading a thin layer of margarine on the counter and her hands. The dough doesn't soak in much of the margarine and she can easily work the dough how she wants since it doesn't stick. Clean up is just a dab of dish soap on the counter with a warm wet washcloth. The method shown here looks fine, but frustrating to use if you can't get it right and the dough keeps sticking. Try out my mum's method, it's very useful!!

The minute you learn to read and understand bread formulas, especially hydration levels, you will instinctively know how to handle any type of dough. Using a kneading mat also helps. Just lightly grease it, and slap and fold.

@smithbernard22 Жыл бұрын

I was a professional baker in both small and large production bakeries for 11 years. This isn't always true. It's actually more consistent with baking as a trade to fall back on touch as opposed to SRC. Yes, having a working understanding of hydration is important, but having an understanding of temp of flour verses water temp, understanding ideal finished dough temp, understanding expected rest times, the yeast used etc.. is probably more important. We also use large amounts of flour to ensure the dough doesn't stick to any resting boards or equipment we use. So in reality the amount of extra flour you add whilst kneading is negligible. What's more important is understanding that when adding flour we tend to over knead the dough, which is what's actually causing all the problems ol'mate claims adding bench flour is causing. It's the nuances of baking that's being missed here.

@KeithJDavies Жыл бұрын

@@smithbernard22 In production, sure. You're dealing with larger amounts of dough with less surface area to pick up flour (cube-square law)... and more importantly, you know better how to knead and when it doesn't need more flour. Regardless of how much flour is on the surface, you're not going to add a lot to the dough. In the home kitchen, though, it is very easy for a starting baker to keep adding flour until the dough doesn't stick, instead of kneading until dough comes together and stops sticking. This gives a wicked combination of too dry and not kneaded enough.

@smithbernard22 Жыл бұрын

@@KeithJDavies first and foremost, larger dough, more surface area, considering as i mentioned, we add it to equipment used such as bun rounders, or D24, or moulders, which means at 2.4kg, or 800g individual doughs may get vastly different amounts of flour at different stages of production. Secondly, as I said it is the nuances of baking that allows you to know when it's to much. However, even as a home bread maker, that doesn't change the principles of bread making. The fact is adding more flour leads to over kneading and not under kneading, which is the root cause of all these problems. The over size of production doesn't change the way you treat a dough. I'm also very aware that at 1kg of dough, 10g of flour represents 1% of additional flour weight, when you make say 25kg, you are still more likely to add the corresponding 250g flour to stabilise. So in principle, the amount of bench flour needed to cause any issues needs to exceed 10% original flour weight. Supplementary to this, most people make over hydrated doughs ignorant of dough/water temp, leaving them with anywhere between 5-10% give on a standard bread recipe anyway.

@KeithJDavies Жыл бұрын

@@smithbernard22 Fair enough. When I've seen people learning they tend to add flour rather than knead, but that was an admittedly small sample of people.

@smithbernard22 Жыл бұрын

@@KeithJDavies I also the other issue is a lack of oil, and addition of 1-3% is usually required. When I taught apprentices, they always forget oil, so I suggest trying to use a spray can of canola when kneading to tackle sticking and to incorporate the oil.

I make a brioche-style loaf of bread about every two weeks, and this is the #1 problem I encounter. I have to add SO MUCH extra flour to be able to knead. It wouldn’t be a problem if I had a stand mixer, but because I knead by hand, the stickiness really causes a problem. I end up adding several tablespoons of extra flour while kneading, and not only is that wasteful, but it does impact the density of the loaf. I can’t wait to try this method later today, thank you!

We always used oil instead of flour to keep doughs from sticking at my old bakery. Oil it down before you pull it off the mixer, it slides right out of the bowl and doesn't stick to anything. Plus your bench soaks it up, it's always conditioned and you never have to oil it. I know this video is for hand kneading, which you don't want to use extra oil for, but it works wonders if you use a mixer.
