Baking yeast breads requires you to know when your dough has reached the right consistency. Practice makes perfect; but before you begin, watch our tip video to see a demonstration of what each stage of yeast dough should look like.

The consistency of your yeast dough will fall into one of three categories: Stiff, slack, or soft and elastic.

Stiff dough should hold the imprint of your finger for just a moment when you poke it. The imprint should fade immediately, and the dough will be fairly hard to stretch.

Soft, elastic dough should hold a finger imprint too, but it should take slightly longer for the imprint to fade. Soft dough is easier to stretch, and feels softer than stiff dough but still keeps its shape.

Sticky dough feels wet; it's easy to pull into taffy-like strands with your fingers. It doesn't hold its shape well, and "settles" when you place it on your work surface.
