Everything is strictly according to the recipe, electronic scales. What can be wrong?
I did everything strictly according to the recipe, electronic scales. What can be wrong? Such questions are found very often in bread topics!
So, what, in fact, can be the case? Let's figure it out! Again!
Bread dough does not depend on whether you have electronic scales, with a step of 1-5 grams!
Bread dough does not depend on how accurate you are, to a gramule or to a milliliter, follow the plan of the author of the recipe, according to his recipe for bread, rolls!
The bread dough does not depend on the model of your bread machine, the programming principle is about the same!
Bread dough does not depend on whether you have a recipe book, instructions for a bread maker, they also contain typos, inaccuracies, sometimes significant, as the practice of their use has shown!
Bread dough is LIVE AND DEPENDENT ORGANISM and depends primarily on: 1. From the state of your ingredients at the moment, bookmark them into the dough for kneading! First of all, on the condition, quality and type of flour (high / low humidity, wheat or rye / whole grain flour, and so on). Even the weather outside the window can affect the baking of bread, if the weather is damp, rain, then the flour can be damp, and vice versa!

If you put rye, whole grain flour, or other varieties of flour (buckwheat, corn, bran and other coarse additives) into the dough, then more water / liquid will be needed, since the absorption of liquid by different types of flour is also different, and depends on the quality of YOUR flour, supplier , grinding flour and other details of its production and storage!

From the balance of flour / liquid!This means that depending on YOUR conditions of the quality of flour, water / liquid, kneading, weather outside the window, you yourself control the quality of the kneading, the consistency of the dough (kolobok). Bread dough SHOULD take as much flour and water / liquid as YOUR TEST needs to achieve the desired consistency, not as much as the author of the recipe suggests you bake the bread! Therefore, you need to take the bread recipe from the forum, but adjust the flour / water (liquid) balance for your dough, your kneading conditions.

HUGE BASE of information for kneading and baking homemade bread, including primarily for baking in a BREAD Maker!
The material was selected painstakingly, carefully and efficiently, with testing and baking in a homemade bread maker and in the oven!
A HUGE REQUEST to the newcomers of the grain business - BEFORE STARTING FOR BAKING BREAD, READ CAREFULLY THE THEORETICAL PART !!! why follow the links listed above! Relying entirely on the "smart" automation of the bread maker is not always good!
She just doesn't know what you want to do and how. From her point of view, everything is worked out correctly, according to the specified parameters.
Automation does not make mistakes, man makes mistakes.
The bread maker does not yet have sensors, and cannot determine the moisture content of flour, the absorption of liquid by the flour, the interaction of ingredients, and the consistency of the finished dough, measure the moisture content of the finished bread, the color of the crust!
The bread maker cannot independently change the automatic program you have started! Automation does not yet have a mental connection with a person!
The baker's task is to prepare everything for kneading the dough, to set or draw up a program correctly, to control the kneading and baking process.
The bread maker is only a tool in the hands of the baker! Please, leave the information on this topic in your bookmarks, and go into these topics more often - and then you MUST HAVE bread! Best regards to all bakers, Admin
