What is the name of the protein that helps bread dough to be stretchy and elastic?

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.

∙ 8y agoI believe the protein in bread is gluten. When making bread, you have to knead the dough to produce the gluten, which results in a better, lighter loaf of bread. The more it's kneaded, the more gluten (protein) it forms.

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.
What is different between knead and need?
When you are thirsty you need to drink some water. When you are making bread, you kneed the bread dough to make it elastic and smooth.
What evidence of a chemical reaction can be noticed when bread bakes?

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.

But that does not guarantee that the resulting bread is a significant source of usable protein.
