5 Portion dough
- Bread flour, for dusting,
as needed Dust clean work surface with flour.
Using a bench scraper, portion dough into 2 equal
pieces that weigh about 420 to 440 g each. If you need
to cut and add small pieces of dough to a portion to
reach the target weight, add those bits to the center of
the portion, then flip the portion over and transfer it
back to the work surface. This will leave you with a
smooth top side that will be the presentation side of
the roll after baking.
