Powder Propionate

Powder calcium propionate is the standard free-flowing form blended into bread flour, dough water, or improver premixes to inhibit mould and rope in soft bakery goods. Even dry distribution prevents local yeast inhibition and flavour hotspots. White powder, mild if pure, slightly dairy-tangy if overdosed in the crumb. Whisk through flour thoroughly. Store dry to avoid caking that leaves untreated dough pockets.
