Ammunium Bicarbonate

Baking ammonia is a white crystalline powder that is water soluable and used as an additive in food.

It’s most common use is in baking and pastrymaking although it’s more common in the food processing industry as a bulking agent and to regulate acidity.

Once prevalent in bread and cookie recipes, baking ammonia in the kitchen has been largely replaced by baking soda and baking powder which produce the same result and are used to aid rising.
