U.S. Department of Agriculture tests show no improved drying method, producing a bread enhancing powder that increases loaf size and weight, boosts nutritive value and flavor, and can raise bread yield per barrel of flour. A pamphlet summarizing the process and advantages is available from the USDA in Washington.
