My bread trials have continued, with some good news. I've found a wholemeal bread mix to replace our beloved Laucke Golden Wholemeal Bread Mix, the one that's been discontinued in NZ.
I did contact Laucke about the possibility of them shipping directly to us from Australia, but the cost was prohibitive. I must say that they were extremely responsive on the customer service front through this discussion-- it's a great company that does its best to support the brand.
It took a bit of searching on the internet and emails, but Davis Trading sells Champion Wholemeal Bread Mix on a wholesale basis. Since Struan Farm's GST-registered farmstay business qualifies us to purchase on this basis, a bag was couriered out to test.
I can report there's nothing comparable to this being sold retail in mainstream food stores. I'd already been researching recipes to come up with my own mix, a last resort in my mind. So I'm thankful that Davis stocks this mix. The bread tastes good, and I can continue to offer freshly baked wholemeal bread to our guests, phew!
Don't really need or want any speed bumps on the basic offering, do we?!
