It doesn&rsquo;t pre-exist in flour — it forms when two storage proteins, <strong>glutenin</strong> and <strong>gliadin</strong>, hydrate and bond during mixing. Understanding gluten is understanding why wheat dominates world baking, and why every dough-based preparation is fundamentally a strategy for controlling this one variable.</p>
