1. Prepare flour and water. Usually, when we use the bread machine to make dough, we will add seasonings such as yeast, sugar and salt to the flour, but when we make dough by hand, we need to prepare these seasonings separately. Pour the flour into a large bowl, gradually add warm water and stir well with chopsticks or spoon until dough is formed. Be careful not to add too much water at a time, in case the dough is too wet to knead.
2. Take out the dough, put it on the chopping board, and knead the dough by hand. When kneading dough, you need to knead the dough as smooth and elastic as possible. Seasonings such as yeast need to be added, which can be added appropriately when kneading dough.
3. Put the kneaded dough into a bowl, cover it with a wet cloth or plastic wrap, and put it in a warm place for fermentation. It takes 1-2 hours for the dough to become bigger and softer. Take out the fermented dough and knead it, and then make it into bread, steamed bread, jiaozi and other foods according to your own needs.
