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.

Caribbean Scones

 

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
3 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
1 butter
1 honey, if desired



 

Preparation

Created by West Indians living in England, these are scrumptious.

Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Grease a baking sheet; set aside. Sift
flour, baking powder and salt into a medium-size bowl; stir in sugar.
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix potatoes and 1 1/2 tablespoons melted
butter with a fork. Add dry ingredients and mix to form a soft
dough. Turn out onto floured surface. Roll out with a floured rolling
pin or pat dough with your hands to make a round about 1/2-inch
thick. Cut into rounds with a 2-inch fluted or plain cookie cutter.
Place 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheet; brush tops with
remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake about 20 minutes or
until light brown. Split and serve warm with butterand honey. Makes
about 10 scones.
