Instructions: I make whole grain breads in my Breadman Ultimate nearly every day. For a nice, soft texture in my bread I replace 1 tablespoon of oil with 1 tablespoon of lecithin (for 3 cups of flour). It makes a big difference in dinner rolls and sweet rolls, too.

Lecithin is a natural dough enhancer derived from soybeans. It produces a softer loaf, extends shelf life, and improves rising. Lecithin is available at natural food stores; the liquid form is most common. Some stores also carry the granular form, including King Arthur Flour (BakersCatalogue.com).
