🧑🏻🍳 Bakers' notes
⭐ Expert Tip: I like to give the mixture a few quick pulses in the blender to break up all the particles. I think it blends easier this way but it's not necessary.
- Keep refrigerated!
- Let come to room temperature before making bread.
- Shake the jar before using.
- This works best with all components added but if you leave out one or two it will still work - just not as well.
- You can find most of the components at your grocery store. You can find lecithin and vitamin c granules at the health food store.
💡Great Idea: Make a big batch of this and put in a pint Mason jar. Tie raffia around the lid and place in a pretty mixing bowl with a recipe plus some yeast and other ingredients for homemade bread. Great gift for the bread baker in your life!
