Tips
- If the dough gets sticky while kneading, let it sit for a few minutes before kneading again.
- If using a stand mixer, mix for 10 minutes, let it rest for 30 minutes, stretch and fold once, and let it rest for an hour before balling.
- When using a stand mixer, it's important to use very cold water to help the gluten develop properly, as stand mixers can overheat the dough and proof it too quickly, degrading the gluten.
- Aim for a finished dough temperature of 75°F (24°C).
