Kneading

Definition

The traditional method of working dough by repeatedly folding, pressing, and stretching it to develop gluten structure. Can be done by hand or with a mixer.

Henry's Tips

  • With sourdough, you rarely need to knead. The long fermentation time develops gluten naturally with just a few folds.
