Ingredients
Our products are freshly baked each day using high quality natural ingredients. The main ingredient of breads is prominently straightforward: flour, water, salt and yeast. Each one has a precise role to play in a creation of dough holding qualities desired in the type of bread.
1. Flour: In NZ mainly two types of flours used for baking purpose namely white flour, wholemeal flour. We get our flour from local suppliers and we work closely with our suppliers when it comes to get the best results from our business.
2. Yeast: Yeast is the single cell organism that feeds from simple sugar naturally present in flour in process called fermentation. We use fresh Baker’s yeast which contains 70% of water. The flavour and aroma of the bread is maintained by using this yeast and controlled fermentation process.
3. Salt: Even though salt is used in minute quality, it’s an essential ingredient with critical role in baking. Salt’s primary function is something distinctly separate from flavour: it helps controlling the fermentation process, preventing yeast from over fermenting.
4. Water: Water is main hydrating factor in dough. We use tap water and use different flour weight to water quantity proportions for variety of products preparation.
