ZIYAD AMMONIA POWDER

ZIYAD AMMONIA POWDER is a traditional baking leavening agent also known as baker's ammonia, ammonium carbonate, or ammonium bicarbonate. It is a versatile ingredient used to achieve a very light and distinctively crispy texture in baked goods, particularly in traditional cookies, biscuits, and crackers.

Ingredients & Uses
Ingredients:
Ammonia Bicarbonate.
Common Uses:
Ammonia powder is primarily used in traditional recipes for flat, crispy baked goods:
Cookies/Biscuits: Provides a signature crispness that baking powder cannot achieve.
Crackers: Used in low-moisture recipes to ensure a light and airy structure.
Pastries: Helps achieve light, airy textures in specific pastry types.
Important Considerations:
The dough cannot be taste-tested before baking due to the ammonia smell, and the oven area will smell strongly of ammonia during the baking process. This smell dissipates entirely from the finished, cooled baked good.
