" Rapid M ix" describes a bread baking
method that calls for dry yeast to be
mixed w ith other dry ingredients before
liquid is added. In contrast, the traditional
method is to dissolve yeast in w arm w ater.
1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast
into bow l, except last 125 to 250 g (1
to 2 cups) flour.
2. Attach bow l and dough hook. Lock
mixer head. T urn to Speed 2 and mix
about 15 seconds, or until ingredients
are combined.
3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add
liquid ingredients to flour mixture and
mix 1 to 2 minutes longer.

quickly, they w ill form a pool around the
dough hook and slow down mixing process.

When using the traditional method to
prepare a favorite recipe, dissolve yeast
in w arm w ater in w armed bow l. Add
remaining liquids and dry ingredients,

Both methods w ork equally w ell for
bread preparation. How ever, the " Rapid
M ix" method may be a bit faster and
easier for new bread bakers. It is slightly
more temperature tolerant because the
yeast is mixed w ith dry ingredients rather
than w ith w arm liquid.
