Checking Dough Consistency; Using Your Bread Maker; Slicing And Storing Bread - Breadman BK1050S Instruction Manual

CHECKING DOUGH CONSISTENCy

although your bread maker will mix, knead and bake bread
automatically, when baking bread from scratch, it is recommended
that you learn to recognize condition of your dough. The ratio of flour to
liquid is the most critical factor in any bread recipe, yet the most easily
remedied. after 5 to 8 minutes in knead 2, open bread maker to check
consistency of dough. dough should be in a soft, tacky ball (feel sticky
like scotch tape). if it is too dry, add 1 tbsp. of liquid at a time. if it is too
wet, add 1 tbsp. of flour at a time.
