What is bread improver?

What is bread improver?

Not really required for most flours. It will give bread  more lift.

Bakers use it to improve lift and shorten the fermentation process.  In a bread machine it will increase the height of the bread by 2.5cm.

It contains -Soya Flour, Emulsifier E472e, Dextrose, Vegetable Fat, Ascorbic Acid. Use one teaspoon per 500 grams.

The soya flour and fat help create a finer crumb structure, while the vitamin c speeds up the fermentation.

What is Granary Flour and Wessex Cobber?

What is Granary Flour and Wessex Cobber?

They are both malted wheat flours. Granary is a trade name owned by Rank Hovis Ltd. Wessex Cobber is our brand. They are both made by adding flaked malted whole wheat to white flour.

The flakes we use are rolled flat and are easier on the teeth.

What is the differance between Six Seed and Mixed Grain?

What is the difference between Six Seed and Mixed Grain?

They are both white flour based. Six Seed has small seeds added - Linseed, Poppy seed, Sesame seed, Millet, Sunflower Seed. I know it does not add up, but I count wheat as a seed. It makes a bread that is very east to eat and kind to teeth.

 

Mixed Grain uses larger flakes of grain - Wheat and Rye Flakes plus Sesame Seed, Poppy Seed, Bran. It is a much rougher texture.

 

Both flours have a malt flour added to give a Granary / Wessex Cobber  type background flavour.

Why do we not use sugar in our machine recipe?

Sugar adds a little more lift to your loaf. It also darkens the crust colour. We find that you can’t notice the difference.

Is your flour Organic?

No.We our wheat from conventional farms close to the mill.

The Food Standards Agency has stated that their is no nutritional benefit from using organic wheat.

It is down to how it is grown. They still use fertilizers and insecticide (pyrethrum grown in Kenya).
