- Kitchen Scales – One of the biggest problems in making bread is inaccurate ingredient measurements. Kitchen scales help to solve that problem (if the recipe provides ingredients in grams or ounces). Used by most international bakers as they want greater accuracy (versus using measuring cups & spoons).
- Buttermilk Powder – Buttermilk helps to create softer bread by “tenderizing” the gluten. However, fresh buttermilk can be hard to find in stores. Therefore, you should take a look at powdered buttermilk. It helps you to create liquid buttermilk and it has a longer shelf life than fresh buttermilk.
