Bread mixes
Use the ‘basic white setting’
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 3 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.
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 1 lb.
Conversion chart
Liquids, flour and others
We recommend that you use the
cup provided for all recipes for
consistency between brands and
types of flour.
The cup provided is based on the
American cup measurement of 8
Floz.
For people who prefer to use their
own measuring utensils, alternative
measurements are in millilitres (ml)
and cubic centimetres (cc) for liquid
measurement and grams (gm) for
weight of flour, sugar and fruit.
Note: A good quality set of accurate
kitchen scales with divisions and
accuracy to 2 grams are required.
A measuring jug with divisions of 2
ml is required.
The tablespoon and teaspoon
provided are required to measure
the smaller quantities. A set of
British standard spoons with
‘scrape’ level tops can be used.
DO NOT USE A KITCHEN
