Wiring 10-3 for stove to breaker panel

Mr.Bean

30 amp, 120 V supply to 4-prong plug at stove. I am about to connect this to the breaker but am confused by what to do with the extra, red leg? Breaker is a two-pole 30 amp.
White and ground to the neutral bar in the panel as usual. What next and why? Not sure I understand the purpose of the red wire. I've done 4-wire in 220V installations before but not for 120V. Sorry if this is a stupid question and many thanks to those who are kind enough to explain this to me.
