Scratch Premium Dough Conditioner for Bread (2 lb) — Improves Texture & Shelf Life, Works with All Flours

Scratch Premium Dough Conditioner is a powdered bread improver that strengthens dough structure to produce smoother, tastier, and longer-lasting loaves with just a small addition to your recipe.

Whether you bake artisan loaves at home or manage a busy bakery, consistent dough performance starts with reliable ingredients. Scratch Premium Dough Conditioner is formulated to support gluten and starch function so your dough handles better, rises more evenly, and yields a finished bread with improved texture and shelf life. It’s concentrated, easy to measure, and designed to work across a wide range of flour types and recipes.

How will this dough conditioner change my bread’s texture?

Adding Scratch helps dough develop a stronger, more extensible gluten network and stabilizes starches during mixing and baking. The result is a tighter crumb with uniform holes, softer mouthfeel, and improved sliceability without heavy additives. It’s meant to refine texture rather than replace core ingredients like flour or water.

• Strengthens gluten for even crumb and rise
• Reduces tearing for smoother shaping and scoring
• Softens finished crumb for better slicing and mouthfeel
• Works in small amounts—one teaspoon per cup of flour

Will it work with whole wheat, rye, and specialty flours?

Yes — Scratch is formulated for use with all flours, including whole grain and mixed blends. For whole wheat or high-extraction flours, pairing with a vital wheat gluten can further improve elasticity and oven spring. The conditioner adjusts dough performance so specialty flours behave more predictably during mixing and proofing.

• Compatible with white, whole wheat, rye, and blends
• Use with vital wheat gluten for very dense whole grain doughs
• Helps maintain consistency across batches and recipes

How much should I use and when do I add it?

Scratch Premium Dough Conditioner is concentrated, so a small amount goes a long way. The recommended guideline is to add one teaspoon of powder per cup of flour directly into the dry mix before adding liquid. Continue your recipe as usual; no extra steps or special equipment are required.

• Dosage: 1 teaspoon per cup of flour
• Add to dry ingredients prior to mixing
• No alteration to proofing or baking times necessary

Can this help with large batches and commercial baking?

Absolutely—commercial bakers use dough conditioners to reduce variability between batches and streamline processing. Scratch helps create uniform dough that scales reliably, easing handling during mechanical mixing, shaping, and automated lines. Use consistently across batches to minimize differences caused by flour variability or environmental changes.

• Improves batch-to-batch consistency for large production runs
• Reduces waste from uneven fermentation or poor shaping
• Compatible with manual and machine dough handling

Who is this for: Scratch Premium Dough Conditioner is ideal for home bakers who want more reliable, bakery-style results, artisan bakers refining crumb and shelf life, and commercial kitchens or small bakeries that need consistent dough performance across batches. If you bake bread, rolls, pizza doughs, or pastries and want smoother handling, better texture, and longer-lasting loaves without complex changes to your recipes, this powdered improver is a practical addition to your pantry.
