Wet gluten formed by mixing dough will generate steam when it is baked and heated in the furnace. The higher the baking humidity, the greater the steam pressure and the greater the swelling power of wet gluten. Such a surface layer is constantly heated and expanded until the moisture in the gluten is completely dry. In this way, the volume of the product is also eight to ten times larger than the original. The second factor of expansion is the structural material with the ability to generate layers. The so-called layered structure material means that when muffin dough is operated, a large number of regular grease layers must be put into the stirred dough, and the grease layers and dough layers are isolated from each other to form a regular dough, and the grease layers will complement each other after baking in the furnace. First, the moisture in wet gluten is heated to produce water vapor tension. The steam pressure generated by the lower dough makes the upper dough swell and grow up layer by layer. Finally, the oil in each layer is heated and melted, which permeates into the gluten to replace the original moisture, so that each layer of dough becomes crispy and eventually becomes a delicious fluffy muffin.
