Melissa..

I have used liquid lecithin for years, use it in almost all my breads. I 
add two to three tablespoons to most recipes, about a tablespoon to 4 cups 
of flour. It gives you a higher rise, better keeping qualities, and a more 
tender dough.

By lubricating the strands of gluten it makes them more effective, and has 
long been used in Europe as an 'improver' for poor flour.
