Tips for Baking Bread

Start as early as you can, it will take aprox. 1.5 hours for the dough to double its size.
Make sure your water is the correct temperature, ideally 40-46 deg C (105 deg F to 115 deg F).
If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast, too cold and the yeast will not rise correctly.

Don't try to rush things, wait for the dough to rise properly before putting it in the oven.


Kneading the Dough

Dust your work area with flour, place the dough on the surface and dust with more flour.

Start from the part of the dough closest to you and use the heel of your hands to push down and away from you.
Turn the dough 90% and take the far end of the dough and fold it in towards you.
Push it down and away from you. Repeat this process until the dough feels smooth and stretchy and no longer sticks to your fingers.

Alvin Kerr's Zephyr Buns

 

Ingredients

1 package active dry yeast
2 tbsp warm water -- 100-115 deg.
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3 eggs
2 cup all-purpose flour -- sifted
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp cool water



 

Preparation

Soften the yeast in warm water and stir in the sugar and salt to
dissolve. In a bowl, beat 2 of the eggs and blend in the flour. Then
stir in the yeast mixture and melted butter. Knead vigorously in the
bowl with the hands till the dough leaves the sides of the bowl and
is elastic, about 5 minutes. Make into a ball, put in a buttered
bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free
place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk. Punch down and
divide into 18 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and arrange,
well separated, on a buttered baking sheet. Let rise 30 minutes, or
until doubled in size. Brush with the remaining egg beaten with a
teaspoon of water. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 10
minutes, or until nicely browned. Cool on a rack. From Beard on Bread
by James Beard.
