The aim of kneading bread is to evenly distribute all the ingredients within the dough as well as develop the texture, structure and gluten. It can take upto 10 minutes by hand, once ready the dough should feel smooth and elastic. Basic white bread is made from a combination of water, flour, salt and yeast, but once confident in the technique other flavours can be added such as Graham Campbell's olive bread or Kevin Mangeolles's onion bread.
