Amylase Enzyme Formula 1 lb

I don't want any excessive ingredients in my bread. Isn't that a big part of why we bake it ourselves? But unfortunately homemade bread just doesn't stay fresh very long (not that the chickens mind), but rather than buy a premixed 'dough conditioner' I decided to try individual additives in different ratios to the weight of the flour. I have been testing amylase enzyme (obviously), sodium alginate, ascorbic acid, and sunflower lecithin. I am still testing things, as I only bake for our family so its not that much bread. But the amylase enzyme has not altered the best characteristics of my favorite rustic boule (just a basic crusty dinner bread) as much as the others. It does soften the crust somewhat but not so much it loses the crunch. And the inside is very soft with a smaller crumb that makes it that much better the next morning for toast or sandwiches. Just a little chewier than the bread is without it, which is exactly what I was looking for. Fkavor change is negligible. Also, the loaf stays softer for about an extra day, which is plenty of time to eat it up. Again, I have a lot more testing to do before I am content to say what is the 'best' for our baked goods. For sandwich bread, for instance, I havent tested it much yet. But overall, the amylase enzyme has had a positive impact of the quality of my bread so far. Its worth a try anyway if you are a baker. And a little bit goes a very long way in a recipe (so far I have kept the amounts I add to about 1/4-1/2 of that suggested by online sources), so a bag of this will last us a very long time.

Very fast shipment. Good price.

Great value

Works well for bread baking. I don’t like that it has dextrose but have not had luck finding one without.

Does it's job

Amylase converts starches to usable sugars for home brewing

Good buy

Is there a useful and distilling and making wine can't do it without it.

It works well with making bread

Works perfect

There’s a pound of it.

I've been using amylase in my home brew beer for 2 years now. Great results and my blood sugar has been fine drinking the beer. However, this stuff is junk, it simply doesn't work. I expected better from amazon.
