Scratch Premium Dough Conditioner (10 oz) blends functional ingredients to support gluten and starch performance so your dough mixes more consistently, bakes with improved volume, and yields a more uniform crumb. Use it sparingly alongside your standard recipe to refine texture without changing flavor profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Scratch Dough Conditioner change dough handling and structure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conditioner acts on gluten and starch to make dough easier to work with and less prone to tearing.
