Answer to Question 1

Shortening makes baked goods tender and moist. This occurs when the shortener (butter, oil, hydrogenated shortening, or lard) is incorporated into the batter. The fat tends to surround the flour and the other ingredients, breaking the long strands of gluten in the batter or dough into shorter units.

Answer to Question 2

The Maillard reaction causes bread to brown
