Bread Thought

[debka_notion]

So Dad baked bread today- Walnut Bear Bread, which was very good, and which Em had made for Thanksgiving. He kneaded it, we think (we didn't time well) significantly less than was called for, and it turned out much lighter and softer than when she did it. I figured that that was due to less formation of gluten, but really, I know zilch about this. Other thing being- the purpose of kneading: formation of gluten and/or getting rid of air bubbles? ANyone (well, shirei_shibolim I'm sort of looking in your direction in particular, since you're notably good at this stuff) have input?

Normally I don't have anything to say in livejournals, but I really had to chime in with my dissappointment that there's no actual bear in the bread. Its just like Welsh Rabbit: no rabbit included.
