HappyGrace Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've tried spraying plastic wrap with Pam, etc, but it always sticks and then when I pull it off, the bread deflates! This is for a recipe I like that calls for a very sticky dough so I can't do more flour on top, etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIE! Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 spray plastic wrap with non-stick spray and use it to cover. ETA - oops, you said that didn't work. I've got nothing for you. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Pre-heat your oven to 150-170 degrees with a pan of water on a lower rack, turn oven off and then place dough in large oiled bowl in oven with the door closed to rise. You won't have to cover the dough because the interior of the oven will stay moist enough that the top layer of dough will not dry out.

EmmaNZ Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I cover with a large polythene bag which I 'inflate' by breathing into it. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks! I will try the water trick-I often let it rise in a warmish oven anyway so that would be easy-thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I cover dough losely with a cotton dish cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 For sticky dough, I butter the top and rise in a warm but now off oven. I assume you are talking about the second or "formed" rise. Now I want your recipe, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett_ashley Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 use a bigger bowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 use a bigger bowl? I think she means a rise in the pans. Who would care if the dough "fell" if it was the non-final rise in a bowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 It is from the Rodale Whole Foods cookbook-the recipe for the no-knead wheat bread. Makes two loaves and it's the softest I've been able to make so far! (It is half wheat/half white flour.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm puzzled that even greased plastic wrap sticks to your dough. Ungreased wrap does not stick to my artisan bread loaves, and that is the stickiest type of bread I make. I just peel it off gently. My bread dough is usually not that sticky, but when I make loaves I grease the pan with spray. I put the shaped loaf in the pan, then flip it over so the top is greased. I cover loaves with a very lightweight flour sack-type towel. This has never stuck for me. Another thought - bread dough deflates easily if it has risen too long. Could this be a possibility?

Melissa in NC Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I found dish covers with elastic edges that look like shower caps at Target by the plastic wrap.
