I can't wait to try this!! I've already made hamburger and hotdog buns (delish!!) and graham crackers using a recipe I found on the net, and now I'll have to bake more! Lately I've returned to breadmaking after many frustrating attempts, including purchasing a food processor, KA stand mixer AND a bread machine. I was positive that it was NOT possible to hand knead and produce a loaf of bread that would remain moist. Mine were always horribly dry - obviously too much flour was the culprit... I was always so confused when I'd read the instructions that I should add flour till the dough was no longer sticky... WELL DUHH!!! It was always sticky!! I recently learned how to hand knead WITHOUT using any additional flour (unless I want to correct the dough). What freedom. I would encourage anyone interested in hand kneading to do a search for the slap and fold method or French style kneading. Thanks again for the recipe! I'm sure it's a winner!
