Potassium bromate is added to enhance the rising characteristics of the dough. It is an oxygen source. What has not been harvested for its oxygen content by yeast, breaks down to potassium bromide upon (fully) baking the dough into bread. Most countries have banned its use, starting in the 1990's, because some organisms develop cancer when they consume potassium bromate. Its use here has largely been replaced with ascorbic acid (and other selections). Potassium bromate is also used to "modify" barley malt used in brewing. Sodium bromate is used in permanent wave solution.
