I love that the same video, by Epicurious, says that you are done kneading if you poke your fingers in and it DOESN'T spring back. Just the opposite of this one...

"it's more traditional to knead by hand" - ha - it's cheaper, that's why I do it.

In my experience this technique only works with stiff doughs which tend to produce dry breads that fall apart. The Bertinet method can be used with much stickier doughs and although it does require good technique for success, it produces much lighter lean breads (baguettes, boules etc.)

@thysonsacclaim Ok thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go!

@schmeeling

It might help to use a recipe which has measurement in weights (like grams) instead of volume. It is more accurate. Just make sure to use a digital kitchen scale.

All the recipes I've followed always make the dough so wet that it sticks no matter what I do. I can never knead it properly because of this. I follow the recipe exactly and measure the water very carefully. What's going on? Mine never looks like that smooth ball when it came out of the bowl!

@populistjanitor All the more reason to be hygienic,my friend! Caring...not caring...beauty...no beauty...non of these are required for proper hygiene!

@timontwowheels Epicurious is wrong, this video is right.

[Cspurlock50]

This seems right

[populistjanitor]

@LosAngelesWillSink Bread has all kinds of microorganisms in it anyway. You could pick yer nose and sneeze and coughon the dough and it will still come out of the over quite safe. Besides, the woman in the video is really hot, so who cares what's under her nails

@timontwowheels Epicurious is probably talking about the way to check and see if the dough is done rising. After kneading, you let the dough rise and you can tell when it is completely risen by poking it an the dough doesn't spring back.
