dcc52806ef Update baking.tex
Evaporation happens at room temperature, too - therefore we cover doughs that rest before baking.
The inside of a loaf does not reach temps above 100 °C - unless you seriously overbake until you end up with a brick instead of a loaf.

As the dough warms up in the oven, the water starts to evaporate out of your
dough. If this weren't the case, your bread would come out soggy and
doughy. The higher the hydration of your dough, the more water your bread
still contains after the bake, changing its consistency. As a result the
crumb is going to taste a bit more moist.

Another often undervalued step is the evaporation of acids.
Another often undervalued step is the evaporation of acids from the crust.
At~\qty{118}{\degreeCelsius} (\qty{244}{\degF}) the acetic acid in your dough
starts to evaporate.
Shortly after at~\qty{122}{\degreeCelsius} (\qty{252}{\degF}) the lactic acid begins evaporating.
This is crucial to understand and it opens the door to many interesting
ways to influence your final bread's taste. As more and more water
begins to evaporate the acids in your dough become more concentrated.
There is less water but in relation you have more acids, therefore a shorter

There is less water but in relation you have more acids, therefore a longer
bake will lead to a more tangy dough. The longer you bake the bread,
the more of the water evaporates, but also ultimately the acids will follow.
The longer you bake, the less sour your bread is going to be. By controlling
baking time you can influence which sourness level you would like to achieve.
baking time you can somewhat influence which sourness level you would like to achieve. Since the inside of the bread will never go above \qty{100}{\degreeCelsius} (\qty{212}{\degF}), acids cannot evaporate from there.
It would be a very interesting experiment to bake a bread at different exact
temperatures. How would a bread taste with only evaporated water but
