Hi - my name is Sue, and I have been lurking for awhile now. I just wanted to
contribute a bit of information I happened upon. I have a Hitachi and love
it. A year ago at Christmas, my aunt got a machine of a different brand (I'm
sorry but I don't recall what it was.) Her owner's manual instructed to add 1
teaspoon of lemon juice (bottled is what we use) to ANY recipe for bread. I
tried it too, and it really does make a lovely loaf. It was only later that I
saw in a baker's catalog that I get that they actually sell ascorbic acid for
such a purpose. Of course that is what is in lemon juice. I don't know how
the cost would compare, frankly, but lemon juice is awfully handy. I just
thought this might be of interest to some of you.
Oh yes, in case anyone is interested, the baker's catalog that I get is
called:
The Baker's Catalog
P.O. Box 876
Norwich, VT 05055-0876
It does feature King Arthur Flour.
