Answer to Question 1

The essential ingredients in yeast bread are as follows: flour, which provides gluten and a food source for yeast; liquid, which helps hydrate the bread and act as a solvent; yeast, which is a leavening agent and helps decrease the pH, making the gluten less sticky and more elastic; and salt, which is a stabilizer and helps with flavor and firmness of the product.

Answer to Question 2

Excess gluten formation is not a problem in corn meal due to the blending of corn meal with all-purpose flour. The addition of corn meal minimizes issues associated with excess gluten development.
