What does shortening do to gluten when added to bread dough?
Shortening make the doughs for bread more workable and renders the final product more tender, and moist. Practically, thd fat shortens the gluten development and the length of the gluten strands when the flour is stirred with that moisture (so, they are called shortenings). Ever noticed the gluten structure form too much and the dough to be very sticky on over mixing, this is due to excessive gluten production from the proteins glutenin and gliadin. This is shortened by shortening. This problem is more in wheat breads which contains more gluten than others like rye bread. Hope it helps
