BioVegan Organic Bread Baking Mixes

Not even two out of five Germans cook at home every day. At the same time, however, there is an increasing demand for high-quality kitchen equipment. In German kitchens two opposing trends can be observed. While some warm up mainly ready meals, the others focus on the importance of home-cooked food. There are several reasons why fewer and fewer people are cooking in their kitchen. Many assume that they simply do not have the time to cook. And most have no energy for the preparation of a complicated dish after a long day at work. In addition, the range of ready meals is now much tastier and more extensive than it was 20 years ago. Today, next to pizzas, there are also lasagnas, vegetable stews and complete meals with meat, vegetables and potatoes in the freezer compartment of the supermarkets.

The friends of the ready meals stand opposite to those who first study the nutritional values while going shopping. Never before was it possible to get as much information about food as today. Those who want to follow a conscious nutrition quickly find out that many dishes are anything but balanced. A good example of this is the salt content. In early 2018, it is assumed that no more than 5g of table salt should be consumed per day. In the Western world, often twice as much is consumed. Those who like it particularly hearty, can easily consume 15 g per day. In addition, many foods contain fat and sugar in alarming amounts. A single donut with plenty of frosting easily covers 25% of an adult's daily calorie requirement. Anyone trying to reach the same amount of calories with vegetables can fill a whole bowl with it. However, a conscious nutrition does not have to mean switching completely to raw vegetables. Actually, it is about a reasonable sense of proportion, a sensitive assessment of the quality and the consideration of the necessary vitamins and minerals. With a balanced diet, the occasional bag of chips or the small chocolate bar is of no consequence. It is simply about the individual consciousness, what is good for yourself and what is not. And the best way to find out is to use the stove.

People who (re)start cooking often make two exciting discoveries. First, how delicious even the simplest dishes can taste. And second, how good it feels to prepare something by yourself. This ”artisanal aspect“ especially appeals to town persons who only sit at their desks during the day. For many of them, cooking is active meditation. Cutting vegetables or rolling doughs leaves the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind. And whoever is standing next to the cooking pot, also determines what comes in it. Instead of adding more and more salt, many dishes can also be refined with herbs. And those who prepared a salad with fresh vegetables for the very first time will assuredly repeat that process. But why limit yourself to salads, soups, casseroles or stews? Why don't you bake your own bread, as well?

Bread has been one of the most important staple foods for thousands of years. A freshly baked loaf of bread not only smells tempting, it also has something deeply original about it. However, this does not mean that it has to be complicated to bake bread yourself. On the contrary. BioVegan proves with six bread baking mixtures that it is even quite simple. With the Bread Mix Ciabatta, you can conjure up oven-fresh Ciabatta bread in just a few steps with a little olive oil, water and yeast. Friends of Mediterranean cuisine will love the Bread Mix Focaccia. Or how about a folded bread? For a barbecue, buffet or brunch. Folded bread goes well with many hearty dishes, but is also a great snack with a nice glass of wine. Oat flakes, wholemeal oat flour, corn flour and other ingredients are used for the Bread Mix Oat Bread. Those who like it savoury should try the Bread Mix Viking Bread. It contains various seeds such as sunflower seeds, linseed or pumpkin seeds. Coriander, fennel and caraway round off the recipe harmoniously.
