However after adding the butter, the dough will become sticky again and would usually take another 15 to 20mins of kneading for the dough to become smooth and no longer sticks to the work surface. Then knead for another 10 mins or so to reach the window pane stage. You can refer to this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCzyeyJ6ApQ) to see the kneading process. The kneading method used in the video is by 'folding...lift up the dough...then hit/slam it on the work surface'. I have used this method before and it is much easier (for wet and sticky dough) than the usual kneading method. Hope this helps.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-76767494680770711822014-09-11T12:34:15.431+08:002014-09-11T12:34:15.431+08:00I knead it by hand.

I don't think it needs to take so long to knead the dough to reach the window pane test. Did you knead by hand? or stand mixer? You could have over knead it if you had use a stand mixer. The dough would no longer be stretched and become tacky. What was the texture of the dough?

It comes in a very small container too. You can do a search on Google to take a look at the photo of this product. I bought it at about S$6+ from Isetan supermart. Do take note that Green Tea powder is slightly different from Matcha powder as they made from different types of tea leaves. I believe Matcha powder is more expensive.

For me, if I were to knead by hand, I usually mix the yeast with the other dry ingredients, and then add in the water/milk (left at room temperature) to mix. So far I have not tried activating yeast in warm water first.
