Hi. My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you
how to make a braided wreath of bread. So here we are about half way through the mixing
process and as you can see our dough looks more like cake batter right now. That's completely
fine. That's not at all anything to be alarmed about. Scrape down the insides of your bowl
again. You're going to do this a few more times before you're done. Scrape off, actually
it looks kind of like pancake batter right now and not at all like dough. But I assure
you if you made pancakes out of this they would taste pretty awful. Because they wouldn't
taste like pancakes. Now let?s add a little more flour in there. We'll try to get the
rest of our flour in here and try to get an idea of how far away we are from being done
with our flour. Like I said, the flour's not a, not by any means a precise thing. It's
kind of a round about approximation. It depends on humidity. It depends on a lot of stuff.
It depends on your yeast. Let's go ahead and raise up the bowl and just turn it on to your
stirrer setting. You don't ever want to just crank it right up because if you do that chances
are you're just going to start flinging flour all over your kitchen and that's not cool.
So right now I've got, not all the flour but most of it in there. And it's starting to
actually look like bread dough. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to crank it up.
It's starting to look a lot like bread dough now. So I'll let this go for a second. Let
it kind of start binding up the glutens in the flour and I'll come back in just one second
and we'll finish this off.
