A large mixing bowl or two, plus a measuring jug, are really useful when making bread dough. Lightweight plastic bowls are easier to lift and move when full of heavy dough. Plus, you can see through them to see how your dough is rising – great to keep an eye on progress.

04/07/2021 Answer (1 of 3): Typically yes but not always. It depends on the kind of bread you're making and the yeast you're using. Conventional yeast needs to be activated in warm water before you add it to the dough. “Instant" yeast does not require this step and can be added directly to the other dry ing...

Magnesium and calcium should be in the water you use to bake bread. These minerals act as a source of food for your yeast. If the yeast has no food, then it won’t ferment, so it needs something. We’ll talk about it more in just a moment, but water that’s too hard can create issues with the gluten, whereas water that’s too soft leaves you with dough that’s less than

14/09/2011 Ive been making bread for so many years I can't count them all, and I used to very carefully test the temp of the water to make sure it was "warm enough" without being too hot. Then I started teaching cooking (including bread making and pizza). One day a student mixed the yeast with water straight from the cold tap. The bread rose just fine, and in the time frame

As a rule of thumb- you can comfortably hold your finger in warm water. 100°F (38°C). Yeast wake up well at this temperature. This time of year my house is 80°F (27°C). but I heat my water a little past that (~120°F or 50°C) to compensate for cooler ingredients- you really want the dough to be around 80F.

In general, the optimal value for the dough is about 75F, some books give you different values for different breads. There are some formulas to know how hot or cold should be the water. Basically, you want to average the temperature of the flour, room and water to be 75F (yes, there is less water than flour, but kneading will give you some heat).

The type of yeast you will use in bread making comes in a little paper packet, and it generally beige-colored granules. The granules lie dormant until you mix them with warm water at just the right temperature. When the warm water mixes with the yeast, it ‘wakes up’ or reactivates. Once the yeast is awake, it will begin to eat and multiply.

11/01/2011 Water is perhaps the most overlooked ingredient in the bread making process. By hydrating the starch and proteins and dissolving the yeast and salt granules, water is a key factor in the basic formation of dough. Furthermore, water creates a humid environment appropriate to the development of enzymatic activity and bread fermentation. Water used in bread making

The enclosed environment will keep the dough warmer and help it to rise. You can also use warm water in your dough (between 80° to 85°F) to speed up the rising process. In my experience, sourdough bread dough tends to thrive at temperatures between 75°F and 80°F. At these temperatures that I often experience during the summer months, my dough will go

20/05/2020 When hand kneading, the dough gets considerably warm, even when using ice-cold water. For this reason, when hand kneading it is a good idea to use a technique that transfers the minimum amount of heat from your hands into the dough. Hand kneaders can also make use of autolyse to develop flour fermentation naturally. I often use the fridge in ...

in my opinion water temperature is the most important part of bread making There is a temperature (and moisture) at which bread works the best at. I would say if you live in a hot climate use cooler water, if you live in a cool place (or its winter) use warmer water. Hot is usually never good imo. We always put the IDY into the dough directly ...

Rainy and hot humid days have an impact on your dough and baked bread. While you can’t control the weather, there are some things you can control that can help lessen the effect of a rainy or hot and humid day like: Using ice-cold water; Proofing in the fridge ; Running a fan/air conditioner; Cooling your tools (i.e., bowls) Moisture-free storage of ingredients ; Reducing the

Yeast activates in a warm environment (24 -36 degrees) and 25 degrees is an ideal temperature for proofing your dough. Tip: For the best results, turn on the lower heater of your oven at 30 or 40 degrees. Place a container of boiling water with the bowl with dough inside on the wire. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel.

scalding milk. Milk should be heated to around 190F if used in yeast breads. The reason for this is that, if unheated, the serum protein present has a weakening effect on the gluten structure. Heating milk denatures this protein. For convenience, dried milk is often used because the serum protein is deactivated.

Enriched dough. You would enrich the dough with milk proteins and fat. You will need a bit more milk than the amount of water required (because of the milk solids). The dough will be softer, the crumb less open. You will have to bake it at lower temperatures than a lean bread. In other words, your bread will be more like a sandwich bread. Karin.
