What Is The Purpose Of Cider Vinegar In Breads?

I've noticed several bread recipes call for the cider vinegar. What is its purpose? Is it to imitate buttermilk or something?

It is just driving me nuts not knowing why its put in a recipe. Anyone else like that? YOU just have to know why?? hahahaha

From what I have read vinegar is put into bread as a preservative.

I have a few recipes that say "dough enhancer" or vinegar.

The reason for adding a little vinegar to yeast bread recipes is that the yeast 'works better' under acidic conditions, i.e. converting the carbs (flour) to sugar, alcohol and carbondioxide to rise the bread. In wheat bread recipes this is done, also. So you almost always see this in a gluten free yeast bread recipe because it will need all the help it can get to rise!

Vinegar in a quick bread using baking soda would be equivalent to adding buttermilk- something acidic to react with the alkaline soda to give off carbondioxide to rise the bread.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
