Gluten-free flour mixes. Sticky dough. Fermentation. Kneading.
Kneading
Dough is usually kneaded on two occasions: before the first fermentation, and a lighter kneading after the first fermentation.
Yeast
Yeast makes bread expand and gain volume. Yeast also helps bread develop flavors, because flavors are formed during the fermentation process.
Windowpane Test (Gluten Window)
Bread recipes requires flour, liquid and a leavening agent. Flour contains, among other things, the protein gluten, which is one of the components that holds dough together and makes it elastic.
Hydration
Hydration in bread baking is about the flour’s ability to absorb liquid. Depending on the flour’s composition of starch and protein, it will have different capacities to absorb liquid.
More about flour
There are just two essential ingredients for baking a loaf of bread: flour and water. Using flour and water, you can start and feed a sourdough, then mix with even more water and flour, and then bake a finished bread. It’s pretty amazing!
