The process begins with measuring the ingredients and ends with hot bread from the oven. In terms of preparing the dough, firstly, the ingredients, which include yeast and flour, are weighed on a scale. Secondly, the measured ingredients are mixed together in a mixing bowl, after which they become dough. Next, the dough is kneaded until it has an elastic feel to it. When the kneading process is finished, the dough is ready to be rolled into the desired shape. Following this, it is placed in a baking tin and given time to rise. Looking at what happens in the baking process, after the dough has risen in the tin, it is put into the oven for baking. Finally, when the cooking time is over, the bread can be tested to see if it is fully baked by tapping on it. If the bread sounds hollow, it is ready.
