Howdy,

I offer (respectfully) that your comment is simply not true.

In fact, fine bread can be made with bread flour with no kneading at
all. The gluten can be formed by kneading, chemical additions and also
by hydration alone. That last means, by mixing the wet and dry
ingredients just enough to be sure that there are no dry pockets...
then waiting.

All the best,
