During World War II, there was a shortage of cream of tartar and other baking products, so baking soda was introduced as an alternative. A fascinating video explores how people used to make breads and some takes a look at some of its ingredients. It goes on to explain what baking soda is chemically, and what it does inside breads and cakes. The narrator then discusses the difference between baking soda and baking powder.
