Kneading is a preparation process that develops the gluten network by pressing and folding dough by hand or with a kneading machine. This process increases the dough's elasticity and consistency and determines the texture of bread and many dough dishes. The kneading time and intensity vary depending on the type of dough.
Where It's Used
“Knead the bread dough for at least ten minutes until smooth and elastic.”
