In this video, we attempt to bring forward some of the beautiful science going at a deeper level inside the bread dough. Through a quick overview of gluten's interactions and structures, we pry into what goes on in the bread dough on a microscopic scale. Our goal is to be able to understand how strain hardening actually happens at a the scale of the proteins. Be forewarned, this is a very dense video, albeit being quite introductory for the subject, but it's a very rewarding one, and we hope you enjoy it. Watch the video for more!
