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.

aprox 3 cups of flour beating with a large spoon until you have a
soft dough adding aditional flour as needed.
Knead this on a lightly flowered surface for about 10 minutes until
the dough is smooth and elastic. form this into a ball and let rise
in a lightly greased bowl for 1 hour or until doubled.
When doubled punch down and push edges into middle then cut in half
cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Form into loaves and place in
lightly greased pan to again double. Preheat oven to 400 degrees then
bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.
This makes a nice tasty bread but I would like it to be not as
dense. Where do I start: 1. more or less kneading? 2. use less flour?
3. more
