violence the dough thanks you for, gluten built one punch at a time
means To work dough or other soft material by repeatedly pressing, folding, and stretching it with your hands.
from From Old English cnedan, 'to knead,' descending from a Germanic root shared with cousins like Dutch kneden and German kneten. The same ancient root may be tied to words for pressing and squeezing — fitting for a verb that has always meant getting your hands into something soft and forcing it into shape.
