Bakerdream Compound Edible Alkali 250g

Unlock the authentic textures of traditional baked goods and Asian noodles with Bakerdream Compound Edible Alkali. This finely ground, food-grade alkaline powder is a versatile kitchen staple, scientifically formulated to modify pH levels and transform your culinary creations. When used in precise quantities, it promotes browning, enhances crispiness, and develops the distinct chew and yellow hue iconic to many beloved recipes.

A key ingredient for traditionalists and adventurous cooks alike, it is essential for achieving the signature springy, golden texture of ramen noodles, Chinese lamian (hand-pulled noodles), and pretzels. It also helps create the traditional crumb and colour in baked goods like German pretzels (Laugengebäck). A little goes a long way in elevating homemade dough to professional standards.

Why You'll Love It:

• Authentic Texture & Colour: Essential for making authentic alkaline noodles (kan sui) with their characteristic firm bite, springiness, and yellowish colour.
• Versatile Kitchen Aid: Used in both traditional Asian noodle-making and Western baking (e.g., pretzels, bagels) for improved browning and crust development.
• Professional Results at Home: Achieve the texture and appearance of specialty bakery and noodle shop products.
• Long-Lasting Value: A 250g pack lasts through many batches of dough, making it a cost-effective pantry item for enthusiasts.

Important Usage Note: This is a concentrated food additive. Always use in very small quantities as specified in trusted recipes (typically 1-2% of flour weight). It is not a direct substitute for baking soda.

Ideal For: Making authentic ramen, udon, or hand-pulled noodles, homemade pretzels, bagels, and other alkaline-treated baked goods.
