Making a Successful Dough continued

Preparing the dough

1.Insert dough hook (refer to page 6). Place the dry ingredients into the bowl and lock the bowl onto the base.

2.Turn the speed dial to low speed (1-4), and gradually add the liquid ingredients (including the pre-prepared yeast mixture) to the bowl. When the ingredients start to form a ball, stop the mixer and use a rubber or plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary.

3.Knead on low speed (1-4) (depending on the amount of dough) until smooth and elastic; for about 5-8 minutes.

4.Transfer dough to a large, well greased mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a light cloth or plastic wrap and place it in a warm, draft-free area until the dough doubles in size.

5.Plunge fist into the centre of the risen dough to punch out excess air. Fold outer edges into the centre and turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut and shape dough to form buns, rolls or freeform loaves and place on prepared baking trays. Alternatively, place dough into prepared bread tins. For pizza dough, it is now ready to be rolled, topped and baked.

6.For the final rising of the bread dough, cover the shaped dough with a light cloth and place in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size again. Glaze and bake.

Tips

To add interest to breads.

Brush dough with a little milk and sprinkle loaves or buns with poppy, caraway or sesame seeds before baking.

Sprinkle loaves with shredded cheese during the last few minutes of baking.

Drizzle cooled, sweet tea rings or buns with icing, or dust with icing sugar before serving.

Glazes

Glazes may be brushed over the dough before, during or after baking.

For a shiny crust, brush with cream or evaporated milk before baking; or with warm sieved apricot jam after baking.

For a glossy crust, brush with beaten egg white before baking.

For a matt finish, brush with melted butter or margarine after baking.
