General product information

Are the flours guaranteed to be gluten-free?

Yes! All our products are gluten-free, meaning they have not come into contact with gluten at any point from the field to your kitchen. The manufacturing facility works exclusively with gluten-free ingredients. You can confidently enjoy treats made from our flours even if you have been diagnosed with celiac disease – two members of the MIMOOSA team share the same experience, so we understand your concerns.

How should I store the flour?

Store the flours in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight. The ideal temperature is room temperature, between 18–22°C. Mimoosa flours come in practical resealable packaging, allowing you to easily close the bag after use to protect the flour from moisture and air. If you prefer, you can also transfer it to an airtight container or jar.

How should I store the sourdough culture?

The sourdough cultures must be stored in the freezer!

The Simple Sourdough culture and Lactose-free Sourdough culture can be stored at room temperature in unopened packaging for up to 10 days without quality deterioration. This is why shipping without freezing is not an issue. However, after opening, they must always be kept in the freezer at -18°C.

Sourdough culture

Why is sourdough healthy?

In sourdough – traditionally a fermented mixture of flour and water – bacteria are formed that support gut flora and digestion. According to our latest knowledge, the health of our digestive system plays an even more crucial role in our quality of life than previously thought. In bread made with sourdough, the bacteria and yeast continue the fermentation process, which is highly beneficial for us. During long fermentation, the grain ground into flour undergoes a kind of pre-digestion process – making it easier to digest.

What does sourdough culture mean?

The sourdough culture contains the beneficial components of traditionally made sourdough, namely lactic acid bacteria and yeast. In other words, this is not a powdered version of traditional sourdough but a blend that contains the beneficial components.

Are the bacteria in traditional sourdough or sourdough culture better?

There is no difference in the structure, benefits, or impact on the bread-making process between the bacteria and yeast. The sourdough culture contains the same lactic acid bacteria and selected yeast strains found in traditional sourdough.

What is the difference between traditional sourdough and sourdough culture?

Traditional sourdough differs from its modern counterpart in that, due to homemade conditions, the ratio of microorganisms required for fermentation is always different. This is why we say, “as many houses, as many sourdoughs” – or more precisely, “as many sourdoughs, as many bacterial compositions.” We can most clearly experience this fact when our fed sourdough unexpectedly spoils, or when one time the sourdough bread turns out well, and another time it doesn’t. The varying results are due to the varied sourdough compositions, which we can only influence to a small extent. In contrast, sourdough culture always contains the necessary components for fermentation in the same proportions. Therefore, bread made with this culture only contains beneficial bacteria and yeast.

Is there really yeast in sourdough?

Yes! Yeast is an essential component of sourdough bread. There is no sourdough without yeast. During homemade sourdough preparation, the yeast naturally present in the flour, air, and surfaces begins to multiply during the fermentation process. The bubbles that appear in the sourdough indicate that the yeast is already working, producing carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is what makes our bread light and porous. In other words, without yeast in the sourdough, the bread would remain flat.

What are carriers?

Since the microorganisms in sourdough culture are invisible to the naked eye, a carrier substance is needed to which these bacteria can attach, making them manageable. In MIMOOSA Simple Sourdough, this substance is maltodextrin and sucrose.

The bread-making process

How should I shape the dough?

With the help of golden flaxseed and psyllium husk, the dough comes together beautifully and quickly. These two super ingredients can replace gluten quite effectively in this phase, but once the dough’s structure is formed, the ingredients start to behave “on their own.” It’s worth planning ahead the shape of the bread, because its texture changes in a matter of minutes. Once it “comes together,” it becomes difficult to shape, and at times, it might seem “breakable.” This does not affect its ability to bake; it just becomes hard to mold further.

What type of flour should go under the bread in the oven?

The simplest option is to sprinkle a small amount of MIMOOSA flour blend under the bread. However, if you don’t want to use the bread flour, gluten-free rice flour is perfect for this purpose, but any other additive-free, gluten-free flour will also work.

What makes the bread crust crispy?

The bread crust can be made crispier with a little steam. The oven also greatly influences the formation of the crust. We could say that each oven produces a different kind of bread. It may be necessary to experiment with the temperature to find the best one for the finest, most textured crust. However, gluten-free bread will never have a “gluten-like” crispy crust, unfortunately.

How do you create steam in the oven?

If the oven doesn’t have a steam function, the simplest solution is to place a small dish of water at the bottom of the oven. You can also splash a little water onto the hot oven floor, but an even easier method is to throw a few ice cubes onto the rack or the bottom before closing the oven door over the bread.

The baked bread

How can the inside of the bread be more porous next time?

Due to its additive-free composition, bread made from MIMOOSA flour tends to be a bit denser, similar to rye bread. However, the porosity that develops during sourdough or yeast fermentation can be influenced by the temperature or the length of the rising process. If a “lighter” bread is the goal, it’s worth trying a 24-hour sourdough fermentation at room temperature. With yeast, you can also increase the fermentation time or the temperature: in the oven, at 45-50°C, the dough will rise faster and better. It may also help to add slightly more water than the recipe calls for, such as 260-280 grams instead of 250 grams – however, this will make the dough softer and harder to shape.

Why is the inside of the baked bread slightly moist?

The moistness could be caused by cutting the bread before allowing it to cool. However, the variety of ovens also contributes to this phenomenon, and it’s possible that the bread needs a few more minutes in the particular oven to bake perfectly through.
