This is great, thank you! I think the biggest ingredient I was missing was patience 😆 I swear, so many videos show people kneading just a few times for a minute or two, and when I try to do the same I wonder why mine still ends up so sticky and slack. Not only are these kneading techniques helpful, but most of all you've shown me that I just need to keep at it until it looks right and not worry so much about how it is sticking to everything -- keep at it and it will come together in the end.

I finally found out why kneading is so necessary as it makes the protein fibers stronger! Few people explain this. Knowing how important this is makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world! Sing a higher protein flour makes a huge difference also that’s why I use King Arthur Bread flour it has at least 12.7% protein!

Very clear guidance..I had a difficult time in hand kneading my dough as I wasn't sure to what extend my dough was well kneaded. Now with your video I'm sure I will handle it better the next round. Can see clearly the textures of the dough through your video. thanks a million for sharing! ❤️

Thanks a ton for this video. I was having a tough time with my bread dough. I watched and re-watched this video and finally tried making my whole wheat flour dough with these methods. My dough turned out to be just right. I was smiling so hard seeing my dough come together. Thanks again.
Made buns with the dough and it was super soft.

This video was the one that was most helpful solving my problem with the dough. I saw so many videos but this was the best. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. I've always made the mistake of adding flour when I get a sticky consistency!

[vanessa]

Lollll I unknowingly used one of these methods. I beat the crap out of my dough out of frustration 😂😂😂 I’m about halfway there while watching this video hopefully this video takes me home for my dough

Thank you. I was having trouble with bread because I was using a super old recipe, and never made bread before. Hopefully my third time with your techniques will give me suitable results

[jennli]

oh okay, so you really have to be prepared to spend more than 30 minutes kneading the dough. I was worried I would end up over kneading at 15 minutes and just kept adding up to a cup of extra flour, then the next issue was that i wasn’t getting to that window pane part so I just end up baking it anyway and they never have that nice stretch from a soft bread. Thanks for sharing the knowledge, this should help improve my bread from now on, I hope 😊

Ooooh that's why my bread is dense and never passes the window pane test!! 😯😯😯 Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. Well shown. Before watching your video I had tried n it took me nearly half an hour. In many videos they show as though it's just a matter of 10 minutes and they never show this sticky dough n the workout on it. Misleading. N I used to wonder why am I failing. This video shows the right way.

Don't worry if you can't pass the windowpane test, I've never been able to but I still try to get it as non-sticky as possible, and the results are always delicious.

This is such a helpful video! I don't have a fancy mixing machine and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make things that have wet dough. I'm so happy to see that it can be done by hand! Thank you :)

[figdish]

your videos are awesome! short and informative! more bread vids plz! especially sour dough techniques, thx!

[geminil]

I am quite put off by wet doughs, nightmare or what !
Videos make it look easy, they don't say that it takes about a fortnight to knead it.

[yellaniharris]

Thank you so much for this. I made milk bread buns today and the flavor and fluffy texture were great. Only problem was the outside wasn't smooth and shiny. I made the mistake of adding more flour to end the stickiness. The dough wouldn't get any smoother after I did it 😩

[dianawong]

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward for more!!

[sharimuhamad]

This is great❤ thank you for sharing. All this time I thought I was doing something wrong and start adding more flour😂 big thanks.
