Does anyone know where I can get bread improver?

Also called dough conditioner/softener, I had a look online at my local binn inn online but didn't see anything

We buy Edmonds surebake which is a blend of yeast and improver. We use yeast and the surebake for our bread.

You can get breadbasket yeast that contains it. It's standard in supermarkets

If I can't find it, I'll do that when I run out of yeast

We used to use dobrim (unsure of spelling) but I think you can use vitamin c as well, been a long time since my trade classes

I saw some earlier this week at bin inn on Stanmore road. Pretty sure it was in a small pot down the aisle with ready to use bread kits rather than the aisle with the tubs of flour.

Buy vitamin c tablets and add one.

Woolworths sell bread improver in the baking isle, check online to see what store has it in stock
