Gluten? Impotant?!


Question:

Gluten? Impotant?

Why is gluten essential for baking?


Answers:

Gluten is the protein in wheat. It is what gives the dough strength. Without it the dough will not rise or, if it does will collapse too easily. In other words, it is what makes yeast bread rise properly and hold its shape. It is most important for bread and especially for bread made in an automatic breadmaker.
