Manna By Anna Question... Help...

[pixiegirl]

Ok I've read here over and over how good this bread is, so I bought some and it came today... well it figures my yeast is too old to use so I'll have to run up to the store for more.

However my real question is this... it says to add a dough enhancer (yes it says this is optional but....) what is a dough enhancer? Does it make the bread better? Where do I get it?

First, the yeast is included in the mix. It is in the bag, so don't go and buy extra!!

You can find dough enhancer at the gluten free pantry. Open Original Shared Link

Here is what their site says about dough enhancer:

Great bread bakers have always relied on dough enhancer to maker their bread lighter and fluffier. But gluten-free bakers have been excluded from that group because most dough enhancers contain gluten. Thanks to Bette Hagman, we've found a dough enhancer that helps gluten-free bakers bake velvety, moist breads with less crumble and longer shelf life. Add 1-2 tablespoons to any bread recipe. Comes in a reusable can. Needs no refrigeration.

Ingredients: whey, soy lecithin, tofu, citric acid, dry yeast, sea salt, natural spice blend, corn starch, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), natural flavor.

Hope that helps!!

I just made my first Manna from Anna loaf (actually my first loaf ever!) in my bread machine and it is wonderful - just like real bread! I did use the dough enhancer. Just a word of caution: read all the instructions first - there are separate instructions for oven and bread machine. Also, the bread machine instructions did not say when to add the sugar, so I added it with the dough enhancer into the dry mix. Hope this helps!
