Backshop Kerschbaumer Kerschi's Bread Mix "S'Süße"

What could be nicer than the aroma of fresh, homemade bread? Bake your own bread a home easily with the bread mixes produced in Maria Lankowitz in Styria.

The "S'Süße" bread mix is a very popular mix. Based on a traditional recipe, it can be used to bake sweet bread and also cakes and yeast dumplings. The bread mixes are entirely handmade and are also suitable for use in bread machines.

Preparation in the bread machine:

500 g baking mix + 190 ml water + 20 ml rum (or rum aroma added to water) + 45 g soft butter (or margarine) result in a loaf weighing about 0.65 kg.

Preparation: Please refer to the operating instructions for your bread machine.

Select the program "yeast cake" or "sweet" / "cake" and browning "dark". Add 40 g raisins (soaked in rum and drained) halfway through the kneading cycle if you wish

When finished, turn the bread out of the mould. The dough hook can be removed immediately or after the bread has cooled down.

Warning: The mould is very hot, use oven mitts!

Preparation in the oven:

1000 g baking mix + 360 ml water + 40 ml rum (or rum aroma added to water) + 90 g soft butter (or margarine) result in a loaf weighing about 1.3 kg.

Preparation: Knead the ingredients in a food processor slowly for 3 minutes, then 7 minutes at a faster setting. Let the dough rest for 50 minutes at about 35 °C and the highest possible humidity. If desired, add 80g (rum) raisins halfway through kneading.

Knead the dough briefly, shape as desired. Place on a greased baking sheet or in a greased baking tin. Cover and let rest again for 60 minutes at about 35 °C at the highest possible humidity. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar if desired.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top and bottom heat).

Bake until golden brown for 20-50 minutes (depending on the size of the dough pieces) and let it cool on a wire rack.
