THE CHEMISTRY OF BREAD-MAKING
Baking bread may seem like a very simple process. It's a combination of only four different ingredients: flour, water, yeast, and salt.
However, there's a lot of science in how these four ingredients interact, and how varying them varies the bread's characteristics.

Flour contains high levels of glutenin
and gliadin proteins. These classes of
proteins are collectively referred to as
gluten. When water is added, these
proteins form a network held together
by hydrogen bonds & disulfide
cross-links. Kneading uncoils gluten
proteins, strengthening the network
and the dough.
Flour contains starch, long chains of
connected sugar molecules. Amylase
converts starch to maltose; maltase in
yeast converts this to glucose. Along
with other sugars, this can be used
by the yeast for fermentation, and is
also involved in the flavour-forming
browning reactions that help to form
the bread's crust.
Yeast are single-celled fungi that help
convert sugars in the bread mix into
carbon dioxide. The bubbles of carbon
Also sodium bicarbonate, but with cream
of tartar (potassium bitartrate), an acid
ingredient that activates the bicarbonate.
dioxide formed cause the bread to
rise; kneading makes their size more
uniform. Sour dough breads contain
both bacteria and wild yeasts. The
lactic acid produced by bacteria can
sometimes give a sour taste.
