I know this post is a few years old but I’ve found dough enhancer at Smith’s/Kroger’s stores and also at Wal-mart. The initial cost of buying the tin is expensive but it lasts forever.

We have switched to using a white wheat for everything, baking, rues, you name it, we use White Wheat flour instead of all purpose. Contrary to popular belief, White Wheat is not a combo of bleached white and whole wheat flours. White wheat has all the nutrients of whole wheat as it is still a wheat, it just happens to come from a white stalk of wheat, make sense? We get a high gluten version of white wheat from our local bulk food store, and I have been so happy with the results in breads, cakes, cookies and like I said, even rues! Happy Baking!

Dough enhancer is basically powdered whey, so most people should be able to find it at a health food store or even a pharmacy.

Dough enhancer is a product made of whey, sea salt, soy powder, and several other things. You add a tablespoon or less to recipes that contain whole wheat. I hope that answers your question. If not let me know. As far as using whole wheat in recipes. I have found the best success at just taking recipes I like and using some whole wheat in place of the reg. all purpose. I started small getting my family used to it. In other words if a recipe calls for 4 cups of flour replace 1 cup or less with whole wheat. As we have gotten used to it I have gradually added more whole wheat to things. If you start out with 100% or even 50% you might get more complaints. Try using 25% or less at first. You do not have to have a recipe that calls for whole wheat to use whole wheat. Thanks for stopping by.

What is dough enhancer? I make my own bread too but my family doesn’t like wheat. I just want more nurtion in it. I was thinking of sub some cups of white flour with wheat. But I figured it has to be better then store bought bread w/all the extra chemicals add.

The dough enhancer may be hard to find depending on where you live. My sister lives on the West Coast and found it at her health food store. I looked at the health food stores near me and they did not carry it. One said that they used to but no longer did. I ended up ordering some online from pleasanthillgrain.com. The problem with ordering it is the shipping is a lot from the websites I found. But now that I know I like it and I let a friend try some of mine we will be ordering together and just order several containers of it. I would try to look at your health food type stores. I hope you find some. I also found some recipes online to make your own but I thought that by the time I bought all the stuff it would not be much more to order it. I may figure it out though and see.

Great tip! I haven’t tried enhancer before. Might have to give it a try! Where do you find it at the grocery store?
