## Description

Product description In 2004 we had a simple idea: bring our professional and artisanal bakery know-how into every foodie’s home. Thanks to the work of our Research and Development Laboratory, we create bread mixes, dried sourdoughs and flours to bake natural products from good and selected ingredients. From the beginning, Ruggeri has been following a Clean Label philosophy: we use only natural ingredients, free from Mono and Diglycerides of fatty acids or chemical emulsifiers. That's why we are a “Flours Laboratory”: every day we test the best raw materials to obtain natural, healthy and tasty baked products. With our mixes for bread, pizza and cakes you save time without compromising the quality of the raw materials and the final result. Our products follow today’s food trends, which allow the consumer to follow a healthy but always tasty diet. Ruggeri mixes for bread, pizza, pasta, focaccia, cakes give the possibility to obtain a professional result at home. Practical and versatile, they are perfect for classic baking recipes or for your creative cooking experiments. Many of our mixes are complete, so they do not require the addition of other ingredients. Just add the right amount of water. Ruggeri bread and pizza mixes can be used both with hand preparation and with bread machine. Ingredients Prepared with dried sourdough 80% (soft wheat flour, dried wheat germ sourdough 5%), dry yeast, wheat gluten, dried live lactic ferments 0.01% P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions For Bread, use 10% flour mass and leave the dough to grow for 2 hours at room temperature (for example, simply add 50g dry sourdough to 500g flour and follow the recipe). Use 5% flour weight for pizza recipes. For a LONGLY BREATHABLE process, reduce the amount to 5% of flour weight and cool the dough in the refrigerator. See more

Review: Excellent Sourdough Starter - I have been trying to perfect my sourdough on and off for a couple of years without any real success. I prepared a new starter following guidelines from a respectable cook book but bought this as a backup in case of failure. My starter was working but I thought I’d try a few spoonfuls of this to help it along. And it did! My starter was soon as lively as ever and smelling delicious - ready for baking. After a couple of bakes that turned out OK (water content needing tweaking a bit) my latest loaf turned out absolutely amazing!! Beautiful crispy crust and soft, slightly chewy texture. It had a mild sour flavour, not too overpowering. My starter is about a month old and in great condition - I store it in the fridge if I’m not baking for a week or so and revive it with flour and a teaspoon of Pasta Madre. Highly recommended.
Review: Absolutely Brilliant - This stuff is brilliant. It produces a great tasting loaf with a beautifully light crumb. It goes a long way if you experiment a little: I'd say use 25 g for an overnight rise in the fridge, perhaps even less. I got it going at room temperature for a couple of hours then covered and transferred to the fridge for another 6 hours. 50g gives you a quick sourdough style artisan bread in about 3.5 - 4 +hrs. Read the reviews, there are some very useful tips. I used my 'go to bread machine recipe': 300g strong malted seeded flour, 200g strong white, 1.5 tsp salt, 2 tbs light olive oil, 1tbs sugar, 50g of this 'yeast' and 320 ml water. It was all done on ,'Dough' setting until the dough doubled (about 2 hrs), check the window on the bread machine. Knock it down and give a it a quick knead, shape into a rectangle than roll up into a loaf from the shorter side. Make sure you pinch the seam well then put it seam down in a pan lined with baking paper (you need long flaps of paper on either side of the pan for an easier transition from the prooving pan into a hot Duch oven). Cover with cling film and leave it to double (30-45min) than bake in a preheated oven at 225 Celsius for about an hour. I also preheated a Dutch oven (any iron cast pot or Pyrex glass dish will do) for 30 mins before I put the loaf in. Score with sharp knife. Spray with water. Bake it with the lid on for 30min then lid off for another 30min. The bread looked and tasted amazing. Have it a go, you won't be disappointed. Happy Baking!.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So simple and much more convenient
*by S***S on 24 August 2024*

What’s not to love about this sour dough starter? I absolutely love it, especially as I can make sour dough without killing the starter! Great quality, versatile enough for bread, pizza base, any dough really. The instructions on the pot are in Italian, however you can get a translation online, even in the listing. You use 10% starter to flour, so this was enough for me to make four lots of 500g dough. Great rise and really straight forward, with a long shelf life you just put the lid on and keep in the cupboard until your next loaf. Really love it, as long as this is on sale then I don’t think I’ll ever go back to regular starter!
