Kitchen Science
The available evidence suggests that recipes can behave differently because ingredients and process conditions vary. In dough preparation, flour strength and the timing of leavening affect the dough’s volatile profile and apparent stage of fermentation; domestic monitoring may also be subjective and difficult to reproduce. However, the supplied evidence does not directly compare different kitchens or identify all relevant causes.
The strongest match is a study of dough prepared with flours of different strengths in kitchen machines. It reports that the dough could be distinguished by flour type during leavening and argues that monitoring fermentation is often subjective and non-reproducible. This supports the idea that ingredient properties and differences in fermentation timing or temperature can change results, but the abstract does not establish how much each factor matters in ordinary kitchens. The evidence is also based on one abstract rather than a broad comparison of kitchens.
