A pre-mixed dry baking composition comprises flour and dried yeast, the moisture content being sufficiently low to minimise deterioration on storage, and can be used for preparing a wide variety of yeast and/or chemically leavened bakery products, for example, bread, rolls, coffee cake, pancakes, waffles, biscuits and pizza crust. The composition typically comprises 75- 85 wt% flour of protein content 9 to 12% and moisture content below 8%, and 1-4 wt% finely divided porous, low moisture, highly active yeast of moisture content below 5%, and has an overall moisture content below 8 wt%. Optional ingredients are dry subdivided shortening (moisture content below 2%), sucrose and salt flavoring, chemical leavening agents such as baking powder, dried whey (moisture content below 4%), and various dough modifying and improving agents (e.g., cysteine and bromate, monocalcium phosphate, mono- and diglycerides, sodium and calcium stearoyl lactylates. |
