Doughy Tips.

Q. My dough hasn’t worked, what went wrong?

A. If you over knead or under knead your dough the end result will be tough. Also, you may have to de-activated the yeast (see pg 13)

Q. I followed the recipe, however I’m finding that my mixture is dry and crumbly. Do I need to add more water?

A. One common problem is that flour tends to absorb or want more moisture/liquid, especially on a warm or humid day. We suggest you add more water, a drop at a time, until you reach a smooth ball/dough.

Q. I added too much water and my dough is very sticky, what can I do?

A. If the dough is smooth without lumps, then remove the dough from the bowl and turn it out onto a well floured benchtop. Knead the dough until you get a smooth and well formed dough, that is soft to touch and bounces back when pressed with the tip of your finger.
