Purchase a couple of Cookbooks for all your 'explain this or that' kitchen chemistry questions.
Enroll in a culinary program at a community College or university.

Hi. In this and the next question, I think you’re looking for a level of instruction that’s beyond the hotline.

Here are a few articles from Food52 to get you started, but I’d recommend a good basic bread book such as The Bread Baker's Apprentice to get you started.

Agree.
And/or look at websites or YouTube channels that are wholly or largely devoted to bread.
