Does anyone have a recipe they like for bread dough enhancer-improver-conditioner?

I'm curious about dough improver. But the well known brands like King Arthur, Professional and Honeyville aren't available right now on the web. Available brands are terribly expensive. I don't shop in person so I'm stuck.

I also wondered if just adding a water/flour roux, suggested by Serious Eats, will work the same. I read about the Asian milk breads and some sites claim that you can't just add this roux to any bread dough and achieve softer bread. But at the Serious Eats site they claim that you can. It sure sounds easier than making a diy conditioner.

Just something new to try at least once during our staying at home.

1. Diastatic malt powder

It may not do much for softness, but it improves flavor and texture in breads.

Then there's non-diastatic malt powder which lightly sweetens without sugar and makes yeast more active.

These are typically added in quantities of 2% flour weight (i.e., 2g of malt powder per 100g flour).

I use non-diastatic in pizza dough.

2. Find a recipe that uses mashed potatoes

Good stuff. Soft and fluffy!

3. ...or even use the water you cooked the potatoes in. I like bread dough with

1/2 - 1 cup of oatmeal (cooked) added to the dough -- gives a lovely chewy texture.

4. Have you tried a pre-ferment (such as a poolish or biga)?

Implementing a poolish step was a game-changer for my bread making. In 18 hour from start to finish, I can make the most amazing country boule with just flour, water, salt and a teaspoon of yeast.

For details, I highly recommend Ken Forkish's book of the same name (Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast).

5. I don't know how that Trump being flattened gif was made

but I've been enjoying for the last 10 minutes.

6. Dunno where you are....

I found adding a bit of gluten to the mix made a lot of difference in cooler climes where bread dough rising
was difficult.
