"has no" range from Aldi

Review:
this is a new range to Aldi australia - 'Has no.....'

this morning i made the bread mix which is GF/WF/DF/EF/YF/SF - no added sugar, suitable for vegans

it requires 425ml of water - so i used chicken stock and kept liquid from boiling veges (to give it extra flavour)
and a bit of oil (i used rice bran oil instead of vegetable oil)
and a little bit of mashed up sweet potato

given it is a bread mix, i had to let it proof first before baking
also i was baking the mix in the friad tins that i normally use for the savoury muffins
this shortened the cooking time

tried one as soon as it came out of the oven - yum yum, texture was really good - better than other GF/YF breads

no itchy mouth on eating and 30 mins later no GERD - so far so good, no tummy grumbles another good sign.

This mix is half the cost of the one I was getting from coles, Mixed up i dont think it makes as much in quantity but given the price difference it is still really good value.
cost per portion size for my morning tea works out about 80 - 90 cents which is pretty good

Hi Gabes,

I bought the bread mix, gravy mix and pancake mix. Haven't tried any of them. Did a roast on Sunday but didn't want to try out a new gravy on the in-laws when they just got here.

Might be a few weeks before I have enough time for experiments - or I may choose to ignore the in-laws being here and get more of: 'you cook such different things, dear'.

further to my test above

as mentioned i made friads of the bread mix - i froze them in portion sizes for work.
quick warm in the microwave and they were yummy...texture etc still good

he he he re the inlaw comment
it is hard enough for us to cope with our unique diet ...dont need people questioning it........

Hey Gabes,

I made the bread this morning, exactly as per the instructions. It went really well. A nice consistent texture and good springiness. Very white though! I haven't eaten bread that white for ages.

I'll buy it again.

and no reactions?

i think the best thing was that it was no soy. It was almost like someone who developed the product had been reading the posts on this site!!

It usually takes a while for me to react, but with no wheat or dairy I don't expect to get a problem.
