Did someone mention that we shouldn't open the lid during rising? I'm so tempted to open up the lid to see why my dough isn't a ball.
Happy Mama:
I said that! DON'T do that even if you are tempted or dying to and I am speaking from experience, you want to listen or not, that's your problem!Yes someone mentioned, but I cannot recall who... Please don't open, just peep through the window.

I was planning to add more liquid to it during the first beat down. But that beat down lasted all of 3 seconds and the screen still showed 'Rise' so i didn't open the lid. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.jtoh:

what's the water roux method?
I used 250ml water and 50g bread flour.
Mix flour and water till it is smooth in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat and stirring constantly with a hand whisk to prevent burning. You will see lots of small bubbles forming on the top. Keep stirring and when the bubbles disappear, you will see streaks in the mixture for every stir you make with your whisk. Stop at this stage and you will have the 65Β°C TangZhong.
Pour the hot TangZhong into a bowl and cover it with a piece of glad wrap with the wrap touching the surface of the mixture. This is to prevent a film from forming on the TangZhong.
Leave the 65Β°C TangZhong to cool till room temperature before using it. Leftover TangZhong can be kept refrigerated and should be used within 3 days. All chilled TangZhong must return to room temperature before using. If your chilled TangZhong has turned greyish in colour, you should discard it.
Different types of breads call for different amounts of water roux. There are many water roux dough recipes available. Or you can experiment until you get the texture that you like. Well actually these days, just go phoon haut and get the bread improver. This is one of my experiments. The texture of the bread is more moist and you can see like fibrous strands in the bread when you break it apart, if you know what I mean. Sorry picture not that clear cos I was experimenting with my camera as well.
