problems with multi Bread shaper recipes
Problem Cause Solution
When shaping Multi Bread
Shaper breads, the dough has
a different shape than
described and shown.
The dough you started out with did not have
a rectangular shape and did not have a
uniform thickness
Flatten out the dough properly with a rolling pin to create a
rectangular shape with a constant thickness.
The dough tears easily and falls
apart (e.g. because it is lumpy)
and it is hard to shape.
You have not added enough water to the
mixture.
The dough was not properly prepared. Make sure you
follow the recipes.
You have worked on the dough too long Knead the dough into a ball again and leave it to rest for 10
minutes. Then start shaping the dough from the beginning.
Knead the dough in two stages, with a 5-minute break in
between.
The dough is sticky and is
difficult to shape
You have added too much water to the
mixture or the water you added was too
warm.
Put some flour on your hands, but NOT on the dough or
the work surface. Then continue to knead the dough. Put
some more flour on your hands and continue until the
dough is less sticky.
