Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bakers generally test dough to check whether it has been kneaded sufficiently or not. The windowpane test is a standard test used to verify whether the gluten in the dough has been adequately developed or not. In the windowpane test, bakers take a small piece of dough and gently pull and stretch it until it becomes translucent and thin enough to let light pass through- forming a windowpane. If the dough reaches this stage, it indicates that the gluten is adequately developed and the dough is ready to be proofed. Therefore, C is the best answer.
