Note about this food

Ammonium sulfate is in bread for the yeast rather than for the eater: it is a nitrogen source that feeds the culture and speeds a dough, and it is used at a few hundredths of a per cent of the flour. A mineral salt of this kind brings two ions and nothing else — no chain to ferment, no amino acid for bacteria to work on, and no plant compound of any sort.
