Doing so will slow or even prevent the action of the yeast. Kneading bread dough Do not try to use the machine to knead dough that is too stiff to knead comfortably by hand. After the dough starts to clean the inside of the work bowl completely and forms a ball, process it for 60 seconds to knead it. Stop the machine and test the dough to be sure it's properly kneaded. Typical bread dough should have a soft, pliable texture and it should feel slightly sticky. If it feels hard, lumpy or uneven, continue processing until it feels uniformly soft and pliable. Make sure that the blade is firmly pressed back into place after removing the dough to test it. Measuring the flour It's best to weigh it. If you don't have a scale, or the recipe doesn't specify weight, measure by the "stir, scoop and sweep" method. Use a standard, graduated dry measure, not a cup for liquid ingredients. With a spatula, knife or chopstick ­ being careful not to press down ­ sweep excess flour back into the container so the top of the measure is level. Kneading dough for coffee cakes, batter bread and brioche Process dough for at least 30 seconds after all the ingredients are incorporated. If necessary, scrape the bowl and process for 5 more seconds. Proofing the yeast The expiration date is marked on the packages. To be sure your yeast is active, dissolve it in a small amount of warm liquid (about 1/3 cup for one package of dry yeast). If the recipe includes a sweetener like sugar or honey, add a tablespoon with the yeast. Let the mixture stand until it foams ­ up to 10 minutes. Rising Put the dough in a large, lightly floured plastic bag. Squeeze out all the air and close the end with a wire twist, allowing space for the dough to rise. Or put the ball of dough in a large bowl coated with soft butter or vegetable oil. The rising time is usually about 1-1/2 hours but will vary from 45 minutes to several hours, depending on the type of flour and the humidity of the air. When it has risen enough, punch the dough down. Processing dry ingredients Put the flour in the work bowl with all the other dry ingredients. If the recipe calls for herbs, oil or solid fats like butter, add them with the flour. (Cheese, nuts and raisins may be added with the dry ingredients or during the final kneading. To leave them almost whole, add them 5 seconds before you stop kneading. For a finer texture, add them sooner. ) Adding liquids All liquid should be added through the feed tube while the machine is running.
