Well, it's definitely not a good idea to follow the recipes we see on TikTok, because they don't give you the tips you need to know if you're just starting out. They post them assuming that you already know, but in my case, I'm a beginner, I don't know anything about measurements, how much to use, all those details that bakers or, in this case, bread makers know.
But anyway, I had already started, so I just had to keep going, do a little research, and, well, let it be, ha ha ha. As you can see in the photo, I tried to make some whole wheat hamburger buns, and they did look nice for the photo, but inside, they were a little hard. Now I'll tell you how I made them.

PREPARATION:
The first thing I did was measure out my whole wheat flour; according to the recipe, it was 250 grams. For this amount, the girl recommended using 5 grams of dry yeast, but I didn't know how to measure that. I used a scale, but no way, I didn't know how, so I just had to ask ChatGPT. This is equivalent to a small coffee spoonful; excuse my ignorance on the subject, but, as I mentioned, I'm new to this.
What was holding me back was that the yeast had to be activated with water, so my question was how much water to use. Well, I used a little bit, two tablespoons of warm water, left it there for a few minutes, and then added it to the flour, along with the sugar, oil, and salt.
Now I just had to add the warm water, little by little, until the dough started to form.
The girl recommended letting the dough rest for about 30 or 40 minutes, so I did that. I kneaded it well and left it to rise. After that time, I kneaded it again and added more flour because I felt it was sticking to everything. Even so, there was nothing else I could do but shape my loaves.
I left them in the oven for about 25 minutes, and this is how they turned out; they got hard, and when I opened them, well, they were still hard, ha ha ha.
The good thing is that they don't taste bad; on the contrary, they're edible. Sure, they're a little hard, but that's okay, I'm learning; I hope they turn out better next time.
What do you think? What am I doing wrong here? I'm open to suggestions, tips from bakers, help me improve my bread...馃槃
SPANISH VERSION
Bueno, definitivamente, no es tan bueno guiarse por las recetas que vemos en TikTok, porque no te dan esos tips que necesitas saber si est谩s empezando. Ellos lo publican asumiendo que uno ya sabe, pero en mi caso, soy una principiante, no s茅 nada de medidas, de cu谩nto se debe usar, todos esos detalles reposteros o, en este caso, panaderos.
Pero ni modo, ya hab铆a empezado, solo me tocaba seguir, indagar un poco y, bueno, dejarlo ser, jajaja, y es que, como ven en la foto, intent茅 hacer unos panes estilo hamburguesas, integrales, y s铆 quedaron lindos para la foto, pero por dentro, algo duros,ahora les cuento c贸mo los hice.

PREPARATION:
Lo primero que hice fue colocar mi harina integral; seg煤n la receta, eran 250 gramos. Para esta cantidad, la chica recomend贸 usar 5 gramos de levadura seca, pero c贸mo medir eso, no sab铆a. Us茅 una b谩scula, pero qu茅 va, no supe c贸mo, solo me qued贸 preguntarle a ChatGPT. Esto equivale a una cucharada peque帽a como de caf茅; disculpen mi ignorancia en el tema, pero, como les coment茅, soy nueva.
Lo que me ten铆a algo detenida era que hab铆a que activar la levadura con agua, entonces mi interrogante era cu谩nta cantidad de agua. Bueno, us茅 tambi茅n un poquito, dos cucharadas de agua tibia, lo dej茅 all铆 unos minutos y luego se lo ech茅 a la harina, junto con el az煤car, el aceite y la sal.
Ya solo me quedo ir a帽adi茅ndole el agua tibia, poco a poco, hasta que se fuera formando la masa.
Aqu铆 la chica recomend贸 dejar reposar la masa por unos 30 o 40 minutos; as铆 lo hice, lo amas茅 bien, lo dej茅; se supon铆a que ten铆a que levantar. Despu茅s de ese tiempo, lo volv铆 a amasar, le a帽ad铆 m谩s harina, porque sent铆 que se me pegaba todo. Aun as铆, bueno, no pude hacer nada m谩s, solo darles forma a mis panes.
Los dej茅 en el horno por unos 25 minutos, y as铆 quedaron; se pusieron duros, y cuando los abr铆, bueno, segu铆an duros, jajaja.
Lo bueno es que no saben mal; al contrario, se dejan comer. Eso s铆, un poco duros, pero ni modo, estoy aprendiendo; espero para la pr贸xima me queden mejor.
Ustedes, 驴qu茅 me dicen?, 驴qu茅 fallo aqu铆?, los leo, acepto sugerencias, tips de reposteros, ay煤denme a mejorar mis panes...馃槃
