Cooking Tips

The first time you make these mixes we suggest for maximum results you should make the mixture according to the recipe instructions. If the cooked product has browned on the inside this means you will need to reduce your cooking time or your oven heat. They will still taste great.

If you add extra wet mix (eg.banana or stewed fruit) you will need to add about a handful of dry mix (ie. bran) or decrease the amount of water or milk you add.

The Bread mix is the best of our range but it can be the trickiest to achieve the desired results in YOUR oven. These tips will help you to cook the perfect wheatfree loaf.

The higher the side of the tin the better size slice of bread for a sandwich. (The Brighterlife Preferred Tin is approx 17.5cm long X 10cm high tin). Add any flavours you wish to give the loaf your special touch. 2 tablespoon of oil and sea salt is my favourite.
Oven Temperatures seem to vary greatly. Wheat free and Gluten Free Flours like to baked slowly in a moderately hot environment.
Some tips here are to:
* Decrease oven heat by 10oC from recommended cooking temperature, for fan forced ovens and
gas ovens by 15oC.
* Leave bread to cool before cutting or refrig for 30 mins for the loaf to set then cut. Bread will keep best stored in the fridge after 3 days. You should still be able to treat yourself to a sandwich in three days.

You can freeze your muffins to ensure you have a continuous fresh supply. Flavours limited only by your imagination.

Pikelet mix can keep refrigerated for up to 5 days. Add a little more water and cook as you need. Pancakes are a terrific lunch or breakfast, substitute them for bread and fill with your favourite fillings.

Please remember that if the results aren't what you expected, Kylie is more than happy for you to email her to talk about how YOU can achieve success. She has made just about every mistake you can make. Contact helpmekylie@wheatfee.com.au.

Storage Information: All flour mixes have a great shelf life because of the thick quality of the bags they are packed in. Bags have a self zip lock and can be stored on your pantry shelf.

If you would like to increase the shelf life store your flour in the fridge. You can use the flour straight from the fridge successfully. All flour products are stored in a temperature controlled cold room before being dispatched to customers. For bulk bags purchased the best form of storage I find is the buckets pictured below. They are a decor brand and it fits 5kg perfectly.

If you have any more suggestions or tips we'd love to hear from you - you are very welcome to use our feedback form.

Comparative Oven Temperature Guide

All cooking times suggested in Brighterlife's Kwik mix range are for use with electric oven. Some ovens do run hotter than others, if you know your oven does run hot or experience a browning effect in the mix, reduce your heat by 5oC.
