Bread: Kneading

The importance of kneading illustrated: the loaves on the left were kneaded and shaped properly. The ones in the middle were minimally kneaded. The ones on the right were not kneaded at all. Kneading helps form and build the gluten bonds that trap the carbon dioxide and steam to form the crumb (internal structure) of the bread.
