Prepackaged Bread Mixes
These convenient BREAD MIXES are available nationally in supermarkets and at some bulk outlets. They are available in various sized packaging and should not be confused with BREAD FLOUR.
Bread mixes contain high protein bread flour, sugar, salt, milk powder, oil and other ingredients such as bread improvers. Usually only the addition of water and yeast is necessary, however some results are improved by adding extra oil.

This is due to the properties of the bread mixes. Recipes were tested with bread mix milled just before the printing of this book.
