ASIN: B07S42DXS8Category: Baking Additives
Overview
A 1 lb bulk bag of food-grade calcium propionate, a preservative used in small doses to slow mold growth in homemade bread. Despite sitting in a baking powder category, this is not a leavener; it is an anti-mold additive bakers mix into dough.
- Food-grade calcium propionate
- 1 lb bulk bag
- Used in small doses relative to dough weight
- Not a leavening agent
Who it's for
Home bread bakers frustrated by loaves going moldy within a few days who want to extend shelf life without extra specialty ingredients. Not for anyone looking for an actual leavening agent, since that job is done by yeast or baking powder, not this.
Pros and cons
- 1 lb bag lasts a long time at these doses
- Dissolves easily in water for mixing into dough
- No dosing instructions included in the package
- Too much can make bread dense, one reviewer warns
- Large bag is more than occasional bakers need
Performance notes
Calcium propionate works as a mold and rope-bacteria inhibitor rather than a leavener, dissolving readily in water and used in very small quantities relative to dough weight.
