Had a look at the bread enhancer on google, I guess it has similar function of bread softener+improver, which improve the texture of the bread. Good luck and I would love to hear from you if you decided to try it out.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466490117794441716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14435557.post-59032128529916906322013-03-14T13:10:19.798+09:002013-03-14T13:10:19.798+09:00Hi Lydia, I have been looking all over the bread s...Hi Lydia, I have been looking all over the bread softener and bread improver from my local supermarket and website in the US; unfortunately, no luck at all.

It will be easier to knead if let the dough rest for a few minutes in between. Eg, knead 5 mins stop n cover with plastic wrap then continue to knead.
