Bread mixes
Follow the information for bread mixes on the
bread mix packet.
There are two types of bread mixes currently
available.
1 Just add water
These mixes are complete and they have all the
necessary ingredients provided, even the yeast.
You only add water.
IMPORTANT: Follow the packet instructions as
some mixes contain more than the normal amount
of yeast, which could over rise in the pan. Use 2
cups of mix maximum.
These mixes are more prone to over rising and
collapsing when the weather is hot and humid.
Since these mixes are complete we cannot advise
how to adjust, as with our own recipes. Bake in
the coolest part of the day, use water between
21˚-28˚C. Using the rapide setting will lessen the
chance of bread sinking.
Use the ‘basic white setting’. For a quicker but
shorter loaf ‘rapide setting’ may be used.
2 Just add flour and water
These mixes have the necessary ingredients in
separate sachets. Just add water and flour.
Remember strong white bread flour is required. A
packet of this mix will produce a 500g loaf just
over 11/2 lb.
