Enzymes are protein catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions in bakery products without producing any change in their molecular structure. In the baking process, enzymes (https://bakerpedia.com/ingredients/enzyme/) have many functions, including aiding fermentation, reducing mixes, modifying dough handling properties, dough strengthener, and even crumb softeners. Their multi-purpose abilities make them very valuable to the modern baker.
