What is the function of kneading yeast dough?

Answer by  Hewitt302 (1720)

Kneading helps work the yeast through the dough. Kneading will help the dough rise faster, making the dough pliable and easier to work if making bread, pie crust or pastry dough. You want easy to pull, manipulated dough if you're cutting into the dough to make smaller portions. Kneading will help dough cook thoroughly.

By kneading yeast dough you provide more air to the dough. Thanks to this your cake can be more fluffy. It is very important to knead all yeast dough cakes.
