Croutons atop a salad. A crouton (/ ˈ k r uː t ɒ n /) is a piece of toasted or fried bread, normally cubed and seasoned. Croutons are used to add texture and flavor to salads [1] —notably the Caesar salad [2] — as an accompaniment to soups and stews, [1] or eaten as a snack food. [citation needed]
A shallow fry in a pool of olive oil turns torn bread into something that's salty, savory, crispy, and chewy all at once.
Dough is compressed between two or more rotating rollers. [1] When done the right way, a smooth and consistent dough sheet is produced. The dough then passes one or several gauging rollers (mostly on conveyors) that reduce the dough to the required thickness. After this the dough sheet is shaped into a desired dough product.
Eggs are a very common addition to make the dough moist and easier to roll out. The dough can be filled or shaped various ways and boiled, baked, steamed or fried. [7] [8] Gluten free doughs like rice noodles and Japanese harusame noodles depend on the gelatinization of starch for structure. [9]

In sourdough bread-making, cold decreases the activity of wild yeast relative to the Lactobacilli, [13] which produce flavoring products such as lactic acid and acetic acid. [14] Sourdough that is retarded before baking can result in a more sour loaf. To prevent the dough from drying, air flow in the dough retarder is kept to a minimum.
The method uses a long rise instead of kneading to align the dough's gluten molecules with each other so as to produce a strong, elastic network, resulting in long, sticky strands. The automatic alignment is possible because of the wetness of the dough, which makes the molecules more mobile. [ 7 ]
