Doughy Tips.

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

A. Your mixture may be dry and crumbly for several reasons. 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.

Q. My yeast did not bubble, why?

A. The yeast may not be active anymore. Check the use by date and when not using yeast be sure to store in the fridge.

Q. My dough did not rise, why?

A. Firstly check the freshness of the yeast. Otherwise it may need to be placed in a warmer position. Placing the dough in a bowl and covering with plastic wrap then placing in a sink with some warm water may help.
