this is great. I quit making bread because it would mold and go stale before my family would eat it. They love my bread but I was tired of throwing it away. I can start baking bread again.

Thanks so much, I find all your videos very informative. I would like for you to explain dough hydration ratio and their application.

Which of these dough conditioners would work best with gluten-free flour? Which one(s) would you NOT use with gluten-free flour?
