The page for "laura brody's bread relaxer" says "The Dough Relaxer is
made from all natural ingredients: high heat process non-fat dry milk,
diastatic malt, natural sours and baking powder. This unique combination
of ingredients naturally tenderizes and relaxes the dough, with the
non-fat milk also delivering a calcium boost."
