"Domino® Light in the Kitchen"

"Domino® Light in the Kitchen"
Before we introduced Domino® Light, we tested it extensively on a range of recipes. Our baking consultant, Lisa Basini, quickly became a fan. “Domino® Light dissolves easily and creams beautifully,” Lisa says. “In breads, it activates yeast the way pure sugar does. You won’t feel you’re deprived of anything!” (For more about Lisa, see our Baker’s Profile.)
