Hand-Kneading Dough: Preparation for Baking Treats

Description

Fine white flour is spread on a wooden countertop. A pair of flour-dusted hands focuses on kneading a fluffy pale yellow dough. The motions of pressing with fingertips and kneading with palms leave the dough surface with natural hand-kneaded texture, soft and elastic in texture. The hem of a gray apron is faintly visible in the background, while warm-toned light gently bathes the dough and hands, creating a cozy baking atmosphere. This is the kneading stage for making bread or pastries—each knead brims with care for the delicacy. The flour traces and dough texture convey the warmth and anticipation of handmade food, as if the rich aroma of baked wheat will fill the air in the next moment.
