FERMENTING:

Fermenting is a process which helps in forming carbon dioxide.

GLUTEN:

A substance which makes the dough elastic and pliable when kneading is the gluten. It is actually a mixture of endosperm protein with a liquid. This allows carbon dioxide bubbles to form pockets in dough.

GLUTEN FREE FLOURS:

These flours are derived from plants other than rye, oats, wheat and barley. It is adhered with xanthan gum which helps the yeast to build the bread’s structure.
