baking process

Kneaded refers to the action of working dough by pressing, folding, and stretching it. This technique is crucial in bread-making, where the goal is to develop gluten, which gives the bread its structure and texture. Kneading helps to combine all ingredients evenly and create a smooth, elastic dough. It can be done by hand or with a machine, and the amount of kneading can influence the final product's density and rise.

Synonyms

massaged, molded, worked

Examples of usage

  • She kneaded the dough for ten minutes before letting it rise.
  • The chef demonstrated how to knead the bread properly.
  • After kneading, the dough became soft and pliable.

Etymology

The word 'knead' is derived from the Old English 'cnedan,' meaning to press or to make into a shape. This term is related to the Proto-Germanic *kniรพwล, which also means to knead. The practice of kneading and the word associated with it have been part of baking since ancient times. As bread-making evolved, the importance of proper kneading in achieving the desired texture and consistency became clearer. Over time, the term has remained relatively unchanged, retaining its essential meaning related to manipulating dough.
