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