Calories burned kneading bread?

froeschli

depends on the technique you are using. If it is Reinhart's stretch and fold then hardly!!!

But I'd love some tips - I've just finally got a sourdough mother going. How do I get the loaf to retain shape and not just collapse?

i found it largely depends on the flour I'm using. All purpose flour always seemed to just 'run' into a blob. bread flour seems to hold shape much better. if you still like the consistency, but not the shape - a loaf pan is very forgiving.
There may also be a correlation to how much water you have in your dough - i usually judge whether it is enough/too much by how elastic/soft the dough is without it sticking to the counter (i don't use extra flour for kneading). if it sticks, it's too moist.

I am a keen home baker (specialising in sourdough and wholemeal bread).

I am wondering how many calories would be burned in a 10-12 minute vigorous kneading session?

One Message Board suggested 70 cals.

Mike

P.S. I know, I know, bread is bad, but I love it (in increasingly small prtions).

I would respectfully disagree, I love bread especially a good sourdough (forget the soggy kleenex they sell at the grocery stores)

Sorry can't help on the logging issue. I'd probably consider it a bonus.

If this is legit, I should start logging my extra hand work too.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I think it's really unnecessary for all of this negativity for a simple question. Not just to you but to everyone getting worked up. We are supposed to be on here to support each others journey, not make fun of each other.

op asked about kneading bread... i mean, whats next? people starting to log their calories burned while cleaning or cooking? preposterous!!!

Calories burned beating the bishop? Anybody know?

Bread is not bad.

I doubt it's enough to make a different. Something like that would factor into your daily activity level anyway.

How many calories have I earned from laughing at the responses on this thread?
It took me about 2 minutes to read it, can someone help me?

That's silly. Wouldnt you be kneading bread whether or not you were trying to lose weight because you love making bread. No need to log. If it's anything substantial, consider it a bonus.

And that is why I don't log in "cleaning" as exercise.

Jexebel

That is silly - I walked before I tried to lose weight, and yes, I log walking as an exercise.

Obviously you walk MORE than usual because it's helping you lose weight and that's fine to log.

Cleaning can be logged.

Sarcastic posts on serious questions really bother me.

Anyone know how many calories are burned while flossing?

I think 4... unless you have horse teeth, then 6.

Stop the crazy talk. No one would ever try to log cleaning. 10 mins of light baking, sure, but cleaning? No one would ever ask.

you will probably burn 1000 calories in about 30 minutes.

He's right.

My sourdough, when its up to around 300g I add 170g rye flour and 240g water. Next day I take out 500g of the sour and add 300g white flour and 10g salt.

Then knead for 12-15 minutes (hard - that's when I burn calories!) and leave to rise. This can take many hours. I often start it last thing at night and leave (covered) in the cold kitchen overnight. By morning, mid-morning at the latest, it has risen.

Then another 5 minutes knead, shape and leave to rise again. This can take 1-3 hours.

Then bang in the oven!

It really works but you have to just do it and learn what suits you and the sour best.

Remember, the sour controls the timing, not you!
