Baking powder

About

Baking powder is a dry chemical raising agent: a carbonate, usually sodium hydrogen carbonate, blended with one or more acid salts and a starch to keep the two apart until the dough is wetted. Double-acting powders pair a fast acid that works in the cold with a slow one that only reacts in the oven, which is why a canned dough can be raised with baking powder instead of yeast. Pillsbury Grands! cinnamon rolls declare theirs as "Baking Powder (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, sodium acid pyrophosphate)", the two acid salts being an aluminium phosphate and a diphosphate.^[1][2]
