Of All Smells: Bread

Step 1

Scale flour and salt into TM bowl; combine for 5 seconds at speed 3.5

Step 2

Scale dry yeast granules into TM bowl, or same weight in wet yeast; combine for 5 seconds at speed 3.5

Step 3

Scale water into TM bowl; combine for 10 seconds at speed 4-5, until mixture starts clumping

Step 4

Set time for 3 minutes on knead; stay near the machine while it kneads the dough

Step 5

Remove from TM bowl; place in lightly floured bowl in warm dry place to proof for about an hour, or until until doubled in size

Step 6

Once doubled in size, carefully follow the instructions within the slide show below to make either bread or buns

Step 7

Let rise for 45 minutes and bake at 500 F for 12 minutes

Step 8

Weighing flour for bread making is best; weigh flour into a large basin

Step 9

Add salt and combine; add dry yeast granules, or same weight in wet yeast; and combine with fingers working it into flour (salt and yeast should never touch when making dough)

Step 10

Weigh water; add water around edges of basin, using D-shaped spatula with your hand to work water into dry ingredients

Step 11

Mix water into flour thoroughly; this is a highly saturated dough (do not add more flour)

Step 12

Pour mixture onto working surface; using D-shaped spatula, gather all flour into dough and form a ball (it will be sticky)

Step 13

Dust hands lightly with flour; throw ball of dough onto counter in a circular motion, using both hands to gather it in, then throw it out onto the counter, pulling it back in a circular motion (it will stick at first, but after about 15 minutes, gluten with be worked enough to stop sticking, and you will then make a ball with the dough

Step 14

Sit it in a warm place to proof until double in size, about an hour

Step 15

Carefully follow instructions within slide show below to make either bread or buns

Step 16

Rise for 45 minutes; bake at 500 F for 12 minutes
