Things You'll Need:
- All-purpose flour
- Wheat gluten
- Mixing bowls
-
Step 1
Measure out the minimum amount of all-purpose flour you'll need for the bread recipe. If the recipe says four to six cups of flour, start with four to avoid waste.
-
Step 2
Add one tablespoon of wheat gluten for every cup of white flour. Stir until the flour and gluten are thoroughly mixed and you have your own bread flour.
-
Step 3
Beat in the bread flour with your other ingredients, following the recipe, to make your dough. Add the flour one cup at a time, stirring it in thoroughly before adding more.
-
Step 4
Begin kneading the dough by hand once it becomes firm enough. If stirring pulls it away from the side of the bowl, it's ready to knead.
-
Step 5
Mix more gluten and all-purpose flour in a separate bowl if you have to add flour while kneading. Scatter it over the dough and work it in by hand.
