What Ingredients To Use

To achieve an optimum loaf of bread, always use fresh, quality ingredients.

Flour

A good quality flour (within its use by date) should be used. A high protein bread flour can also be used for bread making.

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 dry yeast and dry yeast sachets are recommended.

Bread Improver

The use of Bread Improver is recommended for all recipes 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 or through selected supermarkets.

Bread mixes

A variety of bread mixes can be used in your bread maker. Directions of use should be supplied on the bread mix packaging.

Some bulk bread mixes may require the use of a bread improver.

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.
