I am an experienced baker. I purchased the gluten free bread mix, and followed the instructions exactly. The bread did not rise a bit. I would suggest the yeast is inactive.
I contacted the company. They asked twice for information already provided. No apology. No explanation. No investigation into their product.

The yeast is not up to standard anymore.I have had the same problem.I use Tandaco yeast now instead.I wasted so much bread mix!

Have used Crusty White for years with good results. 465g to 300ml of water works for me.
Just lately something is going wrong and it isn't rising as before and it can only be the flour
Laucke took some for testing and said it was ok for them
They are replacing the bag though
Have used another brand and batch with no problems

I just made my first loaf of Laucke Crusty Bread and its the best bread I have ever made.
I just followed the instructions on the box and that is mix it by hand and knead it for 10 minutes, let it rise for 40 minutes. Knock the air out of it and knead it for a minute, let it rise again for 40 minutes and cook. I look forward to making dinner rolls soon.

I've attempted about 6 loaves with this mix. All of them were too crumbly to cut. I e-mailed Laucke but they were not helpful at all. I think the instructions are incorrect. Very frustrating as I bought a massive bag of this so spent a lot of money on it. Annoying that they made it sound as if I was doing something wrong when others are clearly having the same problem.

In the last few months something has changed.I have used Laucke mix for years without trouble,but now my bread is fragile & crumbly.I have tried adding oil &/or gluten flour, the latter gives the most improvement .Is this a seasonal problem or different wheat source ??

I have used alot of different bread mixes this is by far my favorite. I did by the wholmeal. It was easy to do and make unlike other brands where it's to sticky to knead properly. I use a mix of stand mixer and hand knead. But using this mix i just have the most amazing bread. Not sure why others are having issues i followed the box turned out brilliant.

The new 500g crusty White is perfect for our small bread maker 10/10 very happy with out come . Will recommend to family and friends

I have purchased crusty white mix 10 kg bag from Coles and made 4 times, following the instructions,however all 4 times failed.
Very dissapointing.
I bought the white crust since i have purchased the wholemeal one before and tried in the oven an it was good.so i thought to buy the white crust as my kids like white crusty and bought a new machine to make bread.

i have been using this bread mix for ten years and the only failure I had was when I forgot the yeast. you have to learn how to allow for seasonal change in temp, esp water remp,I have three machines and I have not purchased a loaf or roll I twelve years

What a waste of time and money. I bought the crusty white bread mix which had four sachets. I followed the recipe on the box to the letter and used my breadmaker to knead it. After the cycle i was left with what looked more like a pancake batter than a bread dough. I used 420ml water for a 600g sachet of bread mix, as per the instructions. What a waste of time and money, i had to throw it out and want a real recipe to use on the three sachets I have left. Now I come to the website and notice so many people who have had failures using Lauke. Well add another. I have also sent an email to Lauke. It'll be interesting to see if I get a reply.

Great bread flour. 69% water by weight is best. Do not knead. Mix all dry ingrediants. Add water and mix in. Keep warm in sink of hot water for about half an hour. Knock down then form loaf etc on floured board. Let rise again. Bake . Never fails.

Was given a bread maker and purchased this product.Rang the company as I'd heard sometimes the amount of water needs to changed.The lovely lady Irene at Laucke told me to use 30 ml less than the packet read.I baked delicious soft white bread .Will definitely stay with this product

For laucke mixes their instructions are plain wrong. Use 50 mls less of water per standard 1kg or 750 g loaf and the loaves come out perfectly. Laucke instructions ask for way too much water, more than other bread recipes .I used to use the Breville recipes before I switched to Laucke, that's why I knew it could not be the breadmaker.

I buy Laucke Crusty White in 5kg bags, and it's very versatile. I used it to make perfect burger buns, bread, finger buns and pizza dough. The bread is very light and fluffy in the interior - just like bakery bread. I do adjust flour/water ratios according to the seasons and how I knead the dough, practice makes perfect.
reliable, excellent results
