Hovis bread mix & pizzas?

lynzpower

Hiya all

Ive got quite a few of the hovis white bread mixes that theyve been selling off at asda for 35p.

Does anyone know if I can transform the contents into pizza base? I have extra normal ( not strong) flour ( both plan & SR) and more yeast.

Hiya,

I can't see why not? The proportions for pizza dough and white bread are much of a muchness. You may need more salt in the pizza dough? And a drop of olive oil might not go amiss, but I would certainly just go for it.

Let us know how you get on!

have always been annoyed a hovis mixes as they collapse in my bread maker but if they where 35p and workedfor pizza i would deffinatly be buying them up. lets us know what happens. i cleared the bargin shelf in asda the other day of 5p tins on chopped tomatos (dented tins) and made a big batch of pasta sauce but shame my asda wasn't flogging bread mix cheap.

hmmm so hovis BM users this helps me

So, you need to make it with much less water, to make the "bread" How much less water did you use Sammyjig? How much less again will I hav eot use do you reckon to get it to work for Pizza

I know its only 35p but its more that I cant be botherred for another meal to go wrong !

I found it collapsed too if I made the full sized (2lb) loaf. This was because it reached the roof of the breadmaker and so "top hatted". To stop this I simply made a smaller loaf. (Used 3/4 water 3/4 fat and 3/4 of mix to make 1 1/2lb laf). This did not collapse as it didn't reach the top of the breadmaker. I find the children eat the same number of slices whether 2lb or smaller, so actually more economical.
I may try the less water alternative though and see what happens.

310 - 320 ml works fine for me and produces a yummy and good looking loaf

I have a Kenwood BM250 bread maker & some Hovis Bread Mix along with a packet of Margarine.
Please, can anyone tell me how I make this into a loaf of bread as I can't find instructions on how to use bread mix!
Thanks in advance

I make bread dough in the bread maker and freeze it uncooked. Its fine I haven't had any problems. Don't know about the hovis bread mix.
