What is "hot roll mix"?
Q: The recipe Swedish
Rye Bread looks very interesting. But though the ingredients
don't list all-purpose flour, the directions say to add it. Also,
there is something called "hot roll mix" listed. What
is it? It is hard to believe that 1 pound of hot roll mix plus
3/4 cup of rye flour will yield two loaves of bread capable of
serving 12. Can you help?
A: The directions for the recipe
Swedish Rye
Bread calls for the use of all-purpose flour "if necessary"
when kneading it, in other words, if the bread dough's surface
is too sticky even after you have "lightly floured"
the surface on which you knead the bread, a little more may be
needed to make kneading easier.
The hot roll mix is a packaged convenience food much like a cake
mix is, only instead of a cake, it is a shortcut for making yeast
rolls or bread. You should be able to find this product at a
grocery store on the same aisle as you would packaged quick bread
mixes.
As for the recipe making 2 loaves, the directions call for the
dough to be divided and formed into two 6-inch circles, hence
the "2 loaves".
