When the dough is mixed air is mixed into the dough to form micro-bubbles. Baking and the use of steam. Once our dough has been properly fermented, shaped, proved, and possibly slashed, it is time to bake it.
Baking transforms dough into bread via a number of physical and chemical processes. Oven Spring In the first few minutes of baking, the dough rises dramatically. This "oven spring" or "oven kick" is caused by an increase in fermentation as the heat stimulates the yeast (until the dough is hot enough to kill the yeast at around 60°C/140°F), and the thermal expansion of the gas bubbles already in the dough. We can maximise oven spring by injecting steam into the oven before the loaves go in, and during the first few minutes of baking. Baking Measurements and Conversions - TheBakingPan.com.

Shortcrust Pies Without Dishes. Parmesan Crackers. Week Forty-Nine: Breads With Cheese Parmesan, that buttery, nutty, and hard grating cheese, has a unique melting characteristic among cheeses. When heated and cooled, a pile of plain parmesan slumps into a crisp, almost crackerly thing. Called a “frico” when prepared thusly, it’s something like what I was expecting from this recipe.
