White bread mix is a pre-packaged dry ingredient blend containing flour, yeast, salt, and often sugar, designed to simplify the process of making white bread. Users only need to add liquid, and sometimes fat, before mixing, kneading, and baking to create a loaf of bread or rolls.
What it is
A pre-made mix for making white bread at home, suitable for both beginners and experienced bakers.
It includes the key dry ingredients, so you don't have to measure them individually, and often contains other additives to improve the texture and rise.
Common ingredients
Wheat flour: The main ingredient, often fortified with iron, niacin, and thiamin.
Dried yeast: The leavening agent that makes the bread rise.
Salt: For flavor and dough structure.
Sugar: To feed the yeast and add a touch of sweetness.
Other possible additives: Depending on the brand, it may also include ingredients like chickpea flour, rapeseed oil, dextrose, or ascorbic acid (a flour treatment agent).
How to use
Add liquid: Gradually add water (and sometimes melted butter or oil) to the mix to form a dough.
Knead: Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Proof (first rise): Place the dough in a bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
Shape and prove (second rise): Knock the dough back, shape it into a loaf, and let it rise again in the pan or on a baking sheet.
Bake: Bake according to the package instructions until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
