What is Dough Conditioner?

Dough conditioner is a blend of ingredients that help to improve the quality and texture of bread dough. It typically contains calcium sulfate, L-cysteine hydrochloride, and ascorbic acid, which are all common ingredients used to strengthen gluten and starch in the dough. By adding dough conditioner to flour dough, bakers can create better-tasting dough with a more consistent texture.

Why is Proper Storage Important?

Proper storage of dough conditioner is essential to maintain its quality and effectiveness. Exposure to air, moisture, and heat can degrade the quality of the dough conditioner, leading to less desirable results when used in baking. Using expired or improperly stored dough conditioner can also result in inconsistencies in the texture and quality of the bread dough.

To ensure optimal results when using dough conditioner, it is important to store it properly. Here are some tips and guidelines for storing dough conditioner:

• Store in an airtight container: To protect the dough conditioner from exposure to air and moisture, store it in an airtight container.
• Keep in a cool, dry place: Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Do not store in the refrigerator or freezer: While some ingredients can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer, dough conditioner is not one of them. Storing it in the refrigerator or freezer can result in degradation of the quality and effectiveness of the product.
