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.
Learn about the factors affecting dough strength and its three physical characteristics: extensibility, elasticity, and tenacity. Understand the balance between these properties for optimal dough quality.
