Genius SCOTCH PANCAKES - Prebiotic Fiber & Gluten Free

Dried Egg White

What is it? Egg whites from hens; we separate these from the yolks and then dry them.

What's it doing in my bread? This helps our bread to aerate during baking, giving it a lighter texture and a lovely, fine crumb. Eggs are a great source of protein and vitamins too, making this a win-win ingredient.

Egg

What is it? Just eggs

What's it doing in my bread? As with lots of baking, eggs help things set. Again, this helps give Genius bread the texture and crumb that we all love. And again, there’s lots of vitamin and protein goodness to be had too.

Flavouring

What is it? A bespoke blend of extracts and fermentates of natural non-dairy ingredients that tastes just like butter.

What's it doing in my bread? Delivers the signature buttery flavour of a traditional brioche, yet is still dairy free.

Humectant (Vegetable Glycerol) Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose

What is it? 'Humectants' are products that help with moisture retention. Ours are made from vegetable fats like olive or sunflower oil.

What's it doing in my bread? These humectants protect our bread from drying out, helping it stay fresher for longer.

What is it? A special ingredient extracted from the bark of birch trees that’s totally safe to eat.

What's it doing in my bread? It’s essential to creating the lovely bubbly structure that makes our bread soft & delicious without having to rely on gluten.

Partially Inverted Sugar Syrup Potato Starch

What is it? Golden syrup or light treacle is a thick, amber-coloured sugar syrup that lots of people have in their cupboards (it’s great on pancakes!). It’s made by treating a sugar solution with acid to produce a sweeter syrup.

What's it doing in my bread? Like all sugars, syrup is excellent food for yeast – helping kick start the fermentation process. It also adds to the flavour of our bread, and helps give a lovely colour to the crust.

What is it? We extract potato starch from the root tubers of potatoes. It has a neutral colour, taste and flavour.

What's it doing in my bread? Science at work! The potato starch helps forms a gel that supports the rising structure of the bread, which then bursts into soft, fluffy molecules between air bubbles to create Genius' soft crumb. Potato starch also makes for a great digestible source of carbohydrates, which release energy slowly - this helps to stave off hunger and you keep going for longer.

Rice Flour

What is it? Rice flour is made by grinding raw rice all the way down into a superfine powder. It's much gentler on the stomach than gluten containing flours.

What's it doing in my bread? Rice flour works towards creating a lovely soft texture and also gives a slow, steady release of carbohydrates.

Xanthan Gum

What is it? A very common thickener made from fermented sugars, used in lots of foods.

What's it doing in my bread? Gluten is the reason traditional dough is a bit sticky. In Genius bread, we use a little bit of natural Xanthan gum to get this stickiness and help bind our ingredients together during proving and baking.
