Using a Dough Hook




If you are keen to start using our LFGF Bread Mix to bake delicious homemade bread, then we recommend the use of a dough hook on your mixer rather than hand kneading. 


Our mixture does tend to be more sticky than others so, although we don't recommend you touch it too much, when you do, its best to wet your hands.




Should you find that the dough starts to collect around the hook quickly and doesn't seem to be kneading properly, it's possibly too dry. Try adding a bit of water. 


When the mixture is, well, mixing, you might find that the whole machine rocks quite a bit. It can be a bit off putting at first but don't worry, just make sure the bowl is facing towards you and that your machine is sitting on a flat surface away from the edge of the bench top.
