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.

Cheese Scones

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp dry mustard
1 pinch salt
1 cup whole-wheat flour
3 tsp cold butter or margarine, cut in sm, all pieces
3/4 cup (3oz) finely shredded sharp cheddar, cheese
2/3 cup milk (about)
1 butter

Preparation

This qualifies as a savory; a bit of a change from the usual scone.

Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet; set
aside. Sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, dry mustard and salt
into a large bowl. Stir in the whole-wheat flour. With your fingers,
rub in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese.
Make a well in center of mixture; add milk and mix with a fork to
make a dough that BARELY holds together (you may need to press dough
together with your hands). Turn out onto floured surface and knead
lightly. Roll out with a floured rolling pin or pat dough with your
hands to make a round about 3/4-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; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake 8-10
minutes or until well risen and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to
cool. When cold, split and serve with butter. Makes about 12 scones.
