I'm watching Christine Cushing who is making soft rolls. The recipe doesn't look bad at all so I'll give it a try in the breadmaker on the dough setting. The recipe is available on foodtv.com using search /soft rolls/. I just can't figure out why she kneaded it the way she did. I've never seen bread dough picked up then tossed down that way and I've made a lot of dough by hand & with the breadmaker. If you toss it the way she did there would be flour all over the kitchen. That's not a good thing when you have to clean your own kitchen!

There is a Julia Child guest - perhaps 'Groveman' - who when making bread SLAMS it down on the table top to knead it quite a number of times. I would think the method would be hard on old weak arms, not to mention as you did, cleaning up the floor flour. I go skidding around on my floor with just a small amount of flour on my adidda slides. Dee Dee
You don't have to use a lot of flour to knead your bread; in fact, one of my bread books (can't remember which one now) suggests kneading your dough with water to get a feel for how to deal with a sticky bread dough without adding too much flour.
Oh, and I checked foodtv.com for the recipe and couldn't find it ... maybe I did something wrong or the recipe has been removed?
