But here's this one that I found this spring that (IMHO) is easy and readily available (and cheap): Add 1/3 Cup potato flakes, 1 Tablspoon gluten and 1 Tablespoon white vinegar to your bread recipe. That's it! The instant potato flakes will give your bread a softer texture, the gluten will strengthen the air bubbles that help with the rising and the vinegar does somethng else (sorry, I don't remember what- but something helpful!) For me, at least, these are not items that are expensive or require me to go to the store. And the bread comes out better than ever!

I guarantee if I were hungry I'd buy it without a qualm... but I'd be washing it! Hehe /grin
