Flour-based, dry mixes for use in the home preparation of yeastraised products include an additive composition containing defined amounts of an ascorbate compound, an edible oxidizing agent, and an edible sulfhydryl-containing reducing agent. The additive composition inclusion permits a substantial reduction in the time usually required for the kneading and fermentation steps, and, in certain instances, either one of these two steps may be eliminated. The flour-based, dry mixes facilitate the home preparation of yeast-raised products within much shorter periods of time and more conveniently than hitherto. |
