Caster sugar

What is it? Caster sugar is the name given to finely milled granulated sugar and, for that reason, it's sometimes called 'superfine' sugar.

What's it doing in my bread? We couldn't get that beautiful rise in our loaves if it weren't for the magic work sugar does in kick starting yeast fermentation. As yeast feeds on the sugar, it releases harmless but helpful bubbles of carbon dioxide.

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.

Iodised Salt (salt, potassium iodate)

What is it? Most salt that we buy in stores is iodised (and in some countries, this is how it must be sold by law). Iodising is a process of mixing table salt with tiny quantities of the micronutrient iodine.

What's it doing in my bread? It provides an essential source of iodine in the diet, preventing deficiencies which can impact thyroid function or pre-natal development.

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.

Vegetable Oil (rapeseed oil)

What is it? Rapeseed oil is a natural vegetable oil with a mild flavour - which is why it's often found in breads as well as lots of recipes for cakes, pastries and margarine.

What's it doing in my bread? Rapeseed oil makes a brilliant addition to any bread as it is both low in saturated fat (something we should all try and cut down on) and rich in vitamin E (a natural anti-oxidant we can always use more of). It acts as a humectant, which keeps our products fresher for longer.

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.
