    Second proofing length of time and why

    well, to my thinking, if i let it rise as much as possible, but so it doesn't collapse in oven later, then will turn out fluffiest. but we don't know. perhaps it's more a matter of proper kneading and gluten development so it's stretchy, and therefore rises higher. don't know. maybe too, if...

    Kneading dough, when to stop (basic help required)

    not much kneading in that one. i timed my kneading. low speed. 12-13.5 minutes, hopefully not 14. i got carried away a little. but i think this is too much. it's 'braided' so not best for soft and fluffy

    Kneading dough, when to stop (basic help required)

    i desire soft and fluffy pizza bread/ brioche/ oven dough donuts soft and fluffy ... i made alex french guy nutella brioche. kneaded in mixer slow speed probably a bit too long - 13 mins. but this isn't ideal test for fluffiness as dough is braided

    Kneading dough, when to stop (basic help required)

    I'm still reflecting on people's posts. will do that more first, b4 i reply. but, for now, regarding resting the dough, so that it can roll out easier, is this a necessary step? or can you not wait and just force it to roll out? I ask because i have a hunch that if you don't get the dough...

    Kneading dough, when to stop (basic help required)

    Hi, request help/tips... As simple as it is, i don't know when my dough (bread dough) is properly kneaded (using yeast,making flat bread for practice)...
