Ask Candra: The Window Pane Test

This week’s question came courtesy of user YouTube. User rainearcilla asks this question about making white bread:

Question:

“I have another question… where can I raise my dough after kneading it? also can you show us the “window pane test” next time on your videos? thank you very much…”

Answer:

It’s best to let your bread rise in a warm dry area which is free from drafts. Drafts are a killer. If it’s really cool in my kitchen, I will set my bread dough on the counter top near my stove when I am baking other things. You have to be careful not to put it in an area that is too hot though.

Below is a demonstration of the window pane test. Thanks for your question!
