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.
All the recipes use local ingredients and Australian Standard Metric measuring tools (cups, spoons and weighing scales). The
weight of the bread from this section may vary compared to settings used. This is due to the properties of the bread mixes. Recipes
were tested with bread mix milled just before the printing of this book.
Properties of the bread mixes can alter on a seasonal or storage basis, so it may be necessary to adjust the water and flour
ratio. So check the dough in the first ten minutes of kneading by opening the lid – if the dough is too dry add 1-2 teaspoons of
water extra – if the dough is too sticky add 1-2 tablespoons of bread mix extra. The dough should be forming into a smooth
round ball. If a brand of bread mix is not listed in this book, use one of the corresponding type of bread mix recipes.
