Whole Grain Bread Improver
I have a recipe that calls for 1Tablesoonn of King Arthur Whole-Grain Bread Improver.
All I can find locally is "Bob's Red mill Vital Wheat Gluten" Are these two products interchangeable/do the same job?
KA bread improver. I looked at comments. Someone asked what was in it and was given no real answer. There is soy flour in it. Very odd
Since there apparently aren't answers forthcoming about what's in the improver product, I suggest avoiding it. That's purely because I dislike the idea of making something myself and still not knowing what's in it.
I do understand that one way for a business to make money is for them to sell a useful product that's difficult to duplicate, and presumably that's the reason they won't tell. I believe that KAF is not being sneaky or dishonest at all, that they are "good guys" who simply have a trade secret to protect, business is business, etc. I still want to know what's in the things I make. ?
You have lots of options:
are available on the respective KA product page. Just click "Nutrition + Ingredients".
The KA whole-grain bread improver does contain Vital Wheat Gluten, as well as a few other ingredients. Using Bob's VWG in place of KA-WGBI will probably work, but you may not get the same results. Never hurts to experiment....

I apologize for my mistake, thinking that the ingredients were hidden when they're not.
Thanks for all replies. I Guess I'll end up trying both.
