"In the Dough" video circa 1932

I just ran across this video on Youtube and it is fascinating. It is titled "In the Dough" and is a silent film produced by Fleischmann's Yeast. I found the microscopic view of gluten strands and yeast cells fascinating and there is a section covering a laboratory demonstration of the effect of diastase enzymes in the dough.

Like today, even then it was amazing how much science was wrought on making inferior white bread thtat turned out to be right even if for  the wrong reasons :-)  Just saying.....
