La Dolciaria Prisco - Ammoniaca Lievito per Dolci - 20 g

The chemistry is quite unusual as under heat the powder releases ammonia as well as carbon dioxide thus the leavening power is double. Another advantage is that unlike baking powder it contains no sodium so it is ideal to bake items for someone who is in a highly restricted sodium diet. For those who are put off by the initial waft of ammonia during and right after baking (which BTW is harmless in the quantities released by this product) all that is required us to let the final product (pancakes, cakes, biscotti, scones, etc) sit out for about 10 minutes which will allow whatever ammonia smell is present to dissipate. I have found out that baking with this product is a pleasant, predictable experience, and the absence of sodium delivers a really Italian taste to baking outcomes. Highly recommend it.
