Yeasted bread dough must be kneaded to create a smooth, elastic dough that will bake into a light, well-textured loaf. Once properly kneaded, dough will be ready to rise. Learn how to tell if your dough is kneaded sufficiently in our quick tip video.

Place your dough on a lightly floured surface.

Knead the dough, using your fingers to fold it over and the heels of your hands to push it away from you. Turn the dough a quarter turn after each motion.

After you’ve done this for awhile, check to see if the dough is sufficiently kneaded.

If the dough doesn’t spring back when pressed with a finger, or tears when you pull it, it needs more kneading.

If it springs back immediately when lightly pressed, and doesn’t tear when you pull it, it’s been kneaded enough and is ready to rise.
