Temp of Lukewarm Water for Bread

5 replies

Sorry if this is silly but whats a rough temp I should be aiming for when using ‘lukewarm’ water for bread dough? I have a thermometer and atm doing around 40-42c but I’d like to make sure it’s right and be consistent!

this is when using dry, fast action yeast sachets

I use blood temp, so can barely feel it when you stick your finger in it. No idea what actual temperature that is though!

About 37 degrees

Like you're checking a baby's bottle, you shouldn't really be even able to feel heat from it. Just making two batches of bread right now and actually totally forgot to even warm up the water, will be fine lol!

I do this. Stick my finger in it and if I can only just feel it or not feel it, it’s fine.

Yes to be fair I’ve done it with tap cold water before and as long as the weather is warm/room is warm it’ll also be fine.
