You are definitely not alone on this. :...Hi dainty,<br />You are definitely not alone on this. :) I do all the kneading by hand too, and usually it will be around 30 minutes. Sometimes when the dough is very sticky..it can be longer like 40 to 45mins. Some of my friends uses machine (mixer or bread machine) to knead and they produce similar results. If you are frequent baker, you might want to consider investing in a good mixer. :) Well that if its too "painful" for you to knead for such long timing. Actually to pass the window test is good, but not absolutely necessary...so long as when you uses your fingers to stretch the dough thinly and it doesn't break, then you're good to go. But as you know, the more elastic the dough ...the lighter and softer the dough will turn out. :) Good luck!Honey Bee Sweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611185580466977913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-42464872890569777172009-10-12T22:29:59.990+08:002009-10-12T22:29:59.990+08:00hi honeybeesweet,

Since I do not know exactly which recipe yo...Hi SL,<br />Since I do not know exactly which recipe you used, I cannot really give accurate advice. But sounds like you did not knead the dough long enough and did not bake the bread long enough. Please double check with the person where you got the recipe from, then maybe you can get a better perception of where you went wrong. <br /><br />I have not tried making the dark brown sugar whole wheat loaf into a white loaf. The proportion of liquid might have to change too if you use all bread flour instead of partially wheat flour. Please do not use plain flour, the result will be different. Be sure to knead the dough long enough so that it's not sticky and it's elastic enough to do the "window" test. (read my instruction for detail)<br /><br />I guess you just have to follow the ingredients & instruction very closely and carefully to achieve the best results. ;) Good luck!Honey Bee Sweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611185580466977913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-3587012563794176822009-07-02T10:55:44.114+08:002009-07-02T10:55:44.114+08:00Hi Dorie fr Melbourne,

They are really inexpensive here in Malaysia, hope you are able to find the right size over in Melbourne.

(i used the pullman's tin). I was so damn happy..then when i sliced it, *dang* it looks like its raw. The bread is not fluffy, but its soft. The texture is like transparent. When i tasted it, its like sticky. But i baked it in the oven for 30 mins, 190 degrees. super failed in making bread..<br />Im wondering is it because the dough was too wet?..it was very sticky and soft, extremely hard to shape and roll to put into the tin. Any ideas?<br />But tonight, im goin to buy whipping cream and try this recipe of yours. <br />Btw, can i make this as a white bread loaf? Use all plain flour. The rest of the ingredients, the same?<br /><br />Thanks<br />SLSLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-20339720934366079982009-07-02T00:11:42.617+08:002009-07-02T00:11:42.617+08:00I have been following your blog for a while and dy...I have been following your blog for a while and dying to try out your scrumptious looking breads.

I guess whipping cream has higher fat content and thus probably yieling a softer texture?
