My bread dough feels tough and difficult to work with, and the final bread is dense. I think I might be over-kneading it. How can I tell when dough is kneaded enough?

10 solucionesCreate a Warm Proofing Environment
Place the dough in a warm spot, such as a slightly warmed oven (turned off), near a sunny window, or on top of the refrigerator.
Increase Proofing Time
Allow the dough to proof for a longer duration, typically 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Purchase Fresh Yeast
Buy a new, unopened package of active dry yeast from a reputable source.
Check Expiration Date
Verify the expiration date on your yeast package. If it's past due, it's likely the cause.
Use Correct Water Temperature
Ensure your water is between 105-115°F (40-46°C) for optimal yeast activation. Use a thermometer if unsure.
Test Yeast Activity
Before mixing into dough, dissolve yeast in warm water (105-115°F or 40-46°C) with a pinch of sugar. If it doesn't foam within 5-10 minutes, it's likely dead.
Consider Spice Intensity
Some spices are more potent than others. Research the typical usage of the primary spices in your specific curry type.
Adjust Spice Ratios
When remaking, consider increasing the quantity of key spices by 10-25% and taste as you go.
Toast Whole Spices
Dry-toast whole spices in a pan over medium heat until aromatic before grinding them for use.
Bloom Ground Spices
Sauté ground spices in hot oil or ghee for 30-60 seconds until fragrant before adding other ingredients.

Causas Identificadas
Sobreamasado
75%El amasado excesivo puede romper las hebras de gluten, haciendo que la masa sea dura y elástica, lo que lleva a un producto final denso. Esto sucede cuando la red de gluten se desarrolla demasiado y luego comienza a degradarse.
Hidratación insuficiente
50%Una masa con muy poca agua será rígida y difícil de trabajar, lo que dará lugar a una miga densa. Esto puede hacer que se sienta dura incluso si no está amasada en exceso.
Tipo de Harina
40%Harinas con mayor contenido de proteína, como la harina de fuerza, desarrollan el gluten más fácilmente. Usar demasiada harina de fuerza o amasarla en exceso puede llevar fácilmente a la dureza.
Sub-protección
30%Si la masa no sube lo suficiente antes de hornear, la estructura del gluten no tendrá tiempo suficiente para relajarse y expandirse, lo que resultará en un pan denso.
