Why do you add vitamin C to bread dough?

The vitamin C is used as a dough enhancer. The absorbic acid smooths out the dough and works with the gluten to give it that dense, smooth texture. I was skeptical when I first read it, but it really does make a huge difference. I crush up a couple tablets (depending on how much I am baking) and add it to the flour and salt before adding it to the liquids. Don't put too much in! ;-0 Hope that helps.
