Bloomers, loafs, flatbreads, rye breads, wheat breads, sourdough breads, yeast breads - all fermented breads are welcome! Vienesse pastries like croissants are also welcome because technically they're breads too.
This is an English language only comminuty.
Rules:
- All posts must be bread or baking-related.
- No SPAM and advertising posts. If you want to promote your business - contact mods first to get an approval.
- No NSFW content.
- Try to share your recipe with your photos so everyone is able to recreate it.
- All recipes are public domain, recipe books are not. You can post any recipe invented by someone else, but you cannot post copyrighted work. That means no photos of book pages and screenshots of 3rd party web sites. Write the recipe down in text format instead.

If it tears - it's not ready. Even pasta dough at 38% hydration is very stretchy and elastic. Just knead longer.
Well, I don't know what you're doing wrong, but kneading definitely works.
Sticking is one of indicators of dough development during kneading. Once it stops sticking, you're pretty much done. If you're adding additional flour, it will stop sticking due to additional flour, not due to kneading.
During the minutes of sticking, do you just develop the strength that you keep going and ignore it? The sticking makes it so much more tiring.
Yeah, just doing my best to push through. But there's a cheat code - hand mixer :)
