“Rapid Mix” describes a bread baking
method that calls for dry yeast to be
mixed with other dry ingredients
before liquid is added. In contrast,
the traditional method is to dissolve
yeast in warm water.
1. Place all dry ingredients including
yeast into bowl, except last 1 to
2 cups flour.
2. Attach bowl and dough hook.
Lock mixer head (tilt-head models)
or raise mixer bowl (bowl-lift
models). Turn 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. See Illustration A.
NOTE: If liquid ingredients are added
too quickly, they will form a pool
around the dough hook and slow
down mixing process.
4. Continuing on Speed 2, gently
add remaining flour,
1
⁄2 cup at a
time. See Illustration B. Mix until
dough clings to hook and cleans
sides of bowl, about 2 minutes.
5. When dough clings to hook,
knead on Speed 2 for 2 minutes,
or until dough is smooth and
elastic. See Illustration C.
6. Unlock and tilt back head (tilt-
head models) or lower bowl
(bowl-lift models) and remove
dough from hook. Follow
directions in recipe for rising,
shaping and baking.
When using the traditional method
to prepare a favorite recipe, dissolve
yeast in warm water in warmed
bowl. Add remaining liquids and dry
ingredients, except last 1 to 2 cups
flour. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about
1 minute, or until ingredients are
thoroughly mixed. Proceed with Steps
4 through 6.
Both methods work equally well for
bread preparation. However, the
“Rapid Mix” method may be a bit
faster and easier for new bread
bakers. It is slightly more temperature
tolerant because the yeast is mixed
with dry ingredients rather than with
warm liquid.
