Study Notes

Dough Strength

Dough Strength is influenced by three key factors: ingredients used, mixing techniques applied, and fermentation duration.

Physical Dough Characteristics

Extensibility: the ability of the dough to be stretched without breaking.
Elasticity: the ability of the dough to return to its initial shape and size after being stretched.
Tenacity: the resistance of the dough to a stretching action, which affects its strength and durability.
