The main protein in flour is gluten. This forms when moisture is added to flour. High grade/strength flours have a higher level of gluten content and are therefore better for bread making.

Gluten flour is also available and can be added to strengthen ordinary flours. A usual quantity is one teaspoon per cup of flour.

Difficult question, you need to kneed it until it is smooth, springy, elastic and stretchy. This will normally take a minimum of 10-15 mins by hand depending on how much effort you put in.

What is the purpose of kneading dough?

Kneading bread dough helps form a more sticky and elastic dough. As dough is being kneaded, some of the sulfur molecules on proteins will oxidize and attach to other sulfur molecules on other proteins. This makes the proteins all start to stick to each other. This elastic network of proteins allows for trapping of gas bubbles inside the dough, making the fluffy bread we eat.

Was there a bread named 'protein bread'?

Many different bakeries and bread companies have used the term "protein bread" as either a product name, a label, or a description of some sort of bread with supposedly high levels of protein. Anyone might claim that a certain bread has protein by adding a bit of dry milk powder or an egg to the dough, since such ingredients contain protein. But that does not guarantee that the resulting bread is a significant source of usable protein.


Why is my bread dough too sticky and how can I adjust it to the right consistency?

Your bread dough may be too sticky due to using too much water or not enough flour. To adjust it to the right consistency, you can gradually add more flour while kneading until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
