Warm or cool water in bread dough?
Do I mix warm water or cool water with flour when making bread dough?
Answers:
vintage -- activate the yeast in water that is
105 to 110 *F. After the yeast becomes active feed it with 1 tea spoon sugar and 3 table spoons flour, let rise until double in volume. this takes about 15 min.
Now you are ready to start mixing your bread dough. Follow the recipe that you are using . Just remember the ideal temperature for bread dough is 78*F.
Most home bakers rush the dough by using
warmer water .But this causes the bread to have a course texture. For a finer texture especially in summer time keep the dough as near 78*F. As possible. once the yeast is active it doesn't mind the cooler temperature
it just slowes down a bit.But you will have a better loaf of bread . Happy baking
I hope this will help you.
PS. Old time bakers had a formula to determine what tmperature water to use.
# 1 -- Dough temp. wanted x 3 --(78* x 3 =
234. )
# 2 ADD togeather mixer friction 10* Flour
tempiture-- room tempiture. Substract this total of # 2 from # 1 That will give you the tempiture the water should be to make the dough 78*F.--- If you are not using a stand mixer omit the friction temp. jim b

My breadmaker recipe book says lukewarm water - hope that helps!
You should use just barely warm water. It helps the yeast grow. If the water is too cold, the yeast takes longer to wake up and start multiplying. Water that is too hot will kill them. The water should just be warm enough so you can barely feel the temperature at all on your hand.
Warm, the yeast needs luke warm water to help activate it.
you need warm water to activate the yeast
warm, but not hot/boiling. that way, the bacteria (healthy ofcourse) in the yeast that u are using will multiply faster (fungus bacteria thrive in warm conditions) and ur loaves will rise faster and higher. that way u will have nice puffy, and light not sticky and thick from the inside, BREAD.
bon appetite!!
lukewarm for bread machines. and doing by hand 105 degrees to 115 degrees depending the bread recipe u use
warm water but not too hot!!!!!!!!!!!!
Warm.
most bread recipes call for luke warm water to activate the yeast
