Juvela Gluten Free Fibre Mix 500g - X2 BOXES
Juvela Gluten Free Fibre Mix 500g - X2 BOXES
Juvela Gluten-Free Fibre Mix 500g is essentially a gluten-free flour substitute for baking and cooking. It isn't a fibre supplement that you simply mix into a drink. It contains added vegetable fibres, which give it a slightly nutty flavour and make it higher in fibre than Juvela White Mix.
You can use it for:
- 🍞 Bread and rolls
- 🧁 Cakes and muffins
- 🍪 Biscuits/cookies
- 🥧 Pastry and pies
- 🥞 Pancakes
- 🍕 Pizza
- 🥣 Sauces and other recipes
It can generally replace ordinary flour in recipes, but it absorbs more liquid, so you often need to add extra water or other liquid.
If you want to make bread
Juvela's recipe for one 500g packet uses:
- 500g Juvela Fibre Mix
- 10g dried yeast
- 1–2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sunflower/vegetable oil
- about 500ml warm water (Fibre Mix needs more water than the White Mix)
Mix everything into a smooth, fairly wet batter—don't try to make a conventional bread dough and don't knead it. Put it into loaf tins, let it rise for about 30 minutes, then bake at 220°C / Gas 7 for about 20–25 minutes.
If you're using a bread machine, Juvela also has instructions; for Fibre Mix they recommend increasing the water by about 25ml compared with the White Mix recipe.
Important: Although it's gluten-free, the ingredients include gluten-free wheat starch and milk, so it isn't suitable for someone avoiding wheat or milk unless their clinician/dietitian has specifically said it is appropriate.
