Gluten
is a protein present in a variety of grains. The presence of gluten in
dough adds elasticity and bounce, so when you bake something with grains
that contain gluten the dough or batter is stretchy. Sometimes this
means that you end up with very fluffy end products, like angelfood
cake, sometimes you end up with resistant end products, like a bagel our
a stretchy pull-apart bread. Baking without gluten can be an issue
because the dough is denser and less malleable, sometimes leading to
goods that are very crumbly or very dense, and sometimes leading to a
loaf of bread where an air bubble gets trapped and can’t move through
the inflexible dough. But if you’re allergic to wheat or have celiac
disease there’s not much you can dough about that.
