Hi everyone!
I’m new here and new to bread making. The past few times I tried to make bread, I found that the dough would start creeping up the side of the bowl while being mixed. As a result, it ends up breaking the dough into two pieces. Has anyone run into this?
I’m using an Oster 12-speed stand mixer with a 4.5 quart bowl. It has a 350 watt motor. I’m using the dough hook to mix and knead. It usually starts going wrong after about 1 minute of mixing on low speed.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Deb
When it starts slapping the bowl, its done.
Ive tried a mixer in the past, making pizza dough. I always found it would like to climb the hook. Id stop and push it off. But tearing sounds like theres not enough moisture.
I had added a little more water to it but maybe not enough. Maybe that’s why it couldn’t get itself out of the long log shape. I ended up baking it to see what would happen and it actually came out pretty good. I’ll try watching the consistency next time I make it. Thanks!
If ots breaking after a minute on slow well that would be expected. If you spin it on slow for about 7 minutes then switch to high for about 5 (depends on you flour type) that should get a fairly decent dough but main issue here seems to be the complaint about it not holding together after a very short time.
