Australia only - see insert for New Zealand variations in recipes and ingredients.

Flour

Good quality flour should be used. Recommended brands of flour include Tip Top, White Wings, Defiance, Greens and Mothers Choice. High protein bread flour can also be used.

Generic brands of flour may give inconsistent results.

It is important to weigh the flour required for each recipe as flour naturally aerates. This will ensure a perfectly baked loaf.

Bulk packs of flour may be used, however the result of your bread may vary. The texture and height of the bread will be inconsistent if the flour is stored for long periods of time in unsatisfactory conditions. Purchase bulk packs of flour only if baking constantly.

Yeast

Bulk packs of yeast and yeast sachets such as Fermipan, Tandaco, Kitchen Collection and Defiance can be used.

If using a combined yeast and Bread Improver such as Winns Easy Bake or Tandaco, we suggest you experiment with measurements to achieve optimum results.

Bread Improver

The use of Bread Improver is recommended to achieve optimum results.

Bread Improver will increase the gluten content of the flour mix. It will also influence the structure, size and texture of the bread, so that it does not collapse when baking.

The suggested quantity to use is stated in all recipes.

Bread Improver has a flour-like texture and can be purchased through health food shops and most supermarkets.

Bread mixes

A variety of bread mixes such as Defiance and Kitchen Collection can be used in your bread maker. Directions of use are covered in the Recipe section.

Some bulk bread mixes may require the use of a bread improver. If the center of the baked bread is collapsing, a bread improver may need to be added. This should be done by trial and error by adding 1/2 teaspoon of bread improver at one time until desired results are achieved.

We recommend you contact the Bread Mix manufacturer for further information on the use of their product.

Hints

•Different brands of yeast, used with different brands of flour, will influence the size and texture of your bread. Experiment with these ingredients to determine which combination of ingredients gives you the best result.

•It is normal for breads to be inconsistent in height and texture even if you are using the same ingredients time and time again.

This inconsistency is usually influenced by the natural varying protein levels of wheat in the flour.
