Helpful Hints for a Successful
Dough
Step 1: Preparing the yeast
For the dry yeast to be activated it needs to
ferment. To do this place warm milk, sugar
and the tepid water into a bowl, add dry yeast
and mix. Stand in a warm place until mixture
starts foaming i.e. bubbles. This process will
take approximately 10 minutes. Be sure not
to overheat the milk as hot temperatures will
kill and deactivate the yeast.
Step 2: Preparing the dough
Note: Ensure dough hooks are in place (refer
to page 4).
1. Place the dry ingredients into the
Mixmaster benchtop mixer bowl and
position onto the turntable. Turn the
speed control switch to speed 1. Begin to
gradually add the liquid ingredients to the
bowl.
Note: You may find it useful to use a
rubber or plastic spatula to scrape the dry
ingredients from the side of the bowl during
the kneading process. Do not use the spatula
near or directly behind the dough hooks. Use
only a rubber or plastic spatula and keep it
well away from the moving parts.
Safety Tip: Do not attempt to feed the dough
into the dough hooks with your hands,
spatula or any other utensil while the mixer is
plugged into a power outlet or in operation.
2. As the ingredients start to form a ball,
scrape down the sides of the bowl if
necessary with a plastic spatula and
remove your dough.
Safety Tip: Do not use the mixer near the
edge of a bench or table top where it may
fall off.
3. After kneading place dough into a large
well greased mixing bowl. Place the bowl
well greased mixing bowl. Place the bowl
in a warm, draft-free area and cover with a
light cloth until the dough doubles in size.
4. Plunge fist into the centre of the risen
dough to punch out excess air. Fold outer
edges into the centre and turn dough onto
a lightly floured board for shaping. Place
dough into tins for baking, or cut and
shape dough for making buns, rolls, etc.
5. Final rising of dough. Cover the dough
with a light cloth and place in a warm,
draftfree area until doubled in size again.
Glaze and bake.
