[. . . ] After the dough starts to clean the inside of the work bowl completely and forms a ball, process it for 60 seconds to knead it. Stop the machine and test the dough to be sure it's properly kneaded. Typical bread dough should have a soft, pliable texture and it should feel slightly sticky. Stretch the dough with your hands to test it. If it feels hard, lumpy or uneven, continue processing until it feels uniformly soft and pliable. Make sure that the blade is firmly pressed back into place after removing the dough to test it. Measuring the flour It's best to weigh it. If you don't have a scale, or the recipe doesn't specify weight, measure by the "stir, scoop and sweep" method. Use a standard, graduated dry measure, not a cup for liquid ingredients. With a spoon or fork, stir the flour in its container. With the dry measure, scoop up the flour so it overflows. With a spatula, knife or chopstick ­ being careful not to press down ­ sweep excess flour back into the container so the top of the measure is level. Kneading dough for coffee cakes, batter bread and brioche Process dough for at least 30 seconds after all the ingredients are incorporated. It will not clean the inside of the work bowl. If necessary, scrape the bowl and process for 5 more seconds. Proofing the yeast The expiration date is marked on the packages. To be sure your yeast is active, dissolve it in a small amount of warm liquid (about 1/3 cup for one package of dry yeast). If the recipe includes a sweetener like sugar or honey, add a tablespoon with the yeast. If no sweetener is called for, add a pinch. Let the mixture stand until it foams ­ up to 10 minutes. Rising Put the dough in a large, lightly floured plastic bag. Squeeze out all the air and close the end with a wire twist, allowing space for the dough to rise. Or put the ball of dough in a large bowl coated with soft butter or vegetable oil. Roll the dough around to coat its entire surface. Cover it with a damp towel or a piece of oiled plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place ­ about 80°F. [. . . ] These warranties do not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary household use.
