Description
Ensure superior volume and a tender texture in all your baked goods with Kraft Baking Powder. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary logistics hub, this 2.5 kg bulk tub is the definitive choice for professional bakers and culinary institutions across Canada. Kraft’s double-acting formula is engineered for reliability, providing a controlled release of leavening gases that ensures your cakes, muffins, and biscuits rise evenly without a metallic aftertaste. The moisture-resistant, resealable tub is specifically designed for the high-humidity environment of a busy commercial kitchen, keeping the powder fresh and potent until the very last scoop.
Why It Works
- Double-Acting Formula: Provides an initial lift during mixing and a secondary surge in the oven for maximum volume.
- Resealable Industrial Tub: Heavy-duty plastic container protects against moisture and contaminants, preserving leavening power.
- Bulk 2.5 kg Value: Sized perfectly for bakeries and diners to maximize ROI and reduce packaging waste.
- Neutral Flavor Profile: Engineered to provide lift without leaving the bitter or metallic finish often associated with lower-quality leaveners.
- Fine, Free-Flowing Texture: Sifts easily into dry ingredients, ensuring even distribution and preventing "pockets" of over-leavening.
- Fast Calgary Logistics: Stocked locally in Alberta, we provide rapid, tracked shipping across Canada to keep your ovens turning.
Use Cases
- The Signature Breakfast Pancake: Use in your house-made batter for light, airy pancakes that stay fluffy even on a steam table.
- High-Volume Biscuit Production: The secret to achieving those distinct, flaky layers and impressive height in buttermilk biscuits.
- Crispy Fried Batters: Add a pinch to fish-and-chip or tempura batters for an extra-light, shatteringly crisp coating.
- Gluten-Free Baking: An essential component in gluten-free flour blends to provide the structural lift usually provided by wheat proteins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as Baking Soda?
No. Baking powder contains baking soda plus an acidifying agent. It is a complete leavener and cannot be swapped 1:1 for baking soda without adjusting the recipe.
How can I tell if my baking powder is still active?
Mix 1 teaspoon of Kraft Baking Powder into 1/3 cup of hot water. If it bubbles vigorously immediately, it is still active and ready for use.
Is this product gluten-free?
Kraft Baking Powder is typically made with corn starch and is naturally gluten-free. Always refer to the physical label for the most current allergen declarations.
What is the shelf life?
For peak performance, baking powder should be used within 6–12 months of opening, provided it is kept in its airtight tub away from steam and heat.
