What it is

Water is a clear, odorless, and tasteless liquid, essential for all known forms of life. It is a chemical compound made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O).

Why it's used

In dough, water is used to hydrate flour, allowing gluten to develop and creating the structure of the dough. It acts as a solvent for other ingredients like salt and sugar, and helps control the dough's consistency and texture.

Health notes

Water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. There are no specific health concerns associated with water itself at typical intake levels. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake for water, as it is a fundamental nutrient.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen.
