It's so very entertaining reading Bernard Clayton's introduction to bread making. Here are some remarks that tickle me again and again.
"Bread making is not a gentle art, especially when you are kneading by hand. Don't baby the dough! Break the kneading rhythm by occasionally throwing the ball of dough down hard against the table top. Wham! Bam! Don't be gentle with it. Smack it down hard. Let it sound all the way to the living room. Let them know something great is going on! The dough loves it!"
"If the dough you are keading gets stubborn, pulls back, and refuses to be shaped, as is its wont---walk away from it for a few minutes. It will relax, and so will you."
