Maybe somewhere in all this stuffing about with Keep they can add the ability to sort lists.
Mine was similar. As a teenager I used to make sandwiches as you describe with instant coffee granules instead of sugar. The granules would dissolve into the butter to form a brown caffeinated sludge. Yummo!
Fantastic explanation. Thank you.
I’d heard that kneading “activates the gluten”, but tbh chemistry was never my strong suit so I have no idea what that means in the real world. I suspect kneading time relates to the level of activation or resulting gluten level, or perhaps even the speed at which the activation occurs. I couldn’t even tell you what gluten does in terms of flavour or chewiness or whatever.
I’ve just never found the right eli5 for me about it. Perhaps split a batch, knead one half and do a comparison taste test?
The YouTube channel The Tim Traveller has covered a few (along with a bunch of other esoteric sights, I really enjoy his stuff).
