Secondly, the softened wheat kernels are broken down by a cutting/shearing process to form a preliminary wheat dough. This dough is then mixed with additional water to increase its water content. Finally, additional ingredients such as yeast, fat, sugar, salt and the like, are mixed into the dough to form a final wheat dough for baking bread.
