Zeelandia Panomix K Dark Grain in a 25 kg bakery sack, a mix for dark seeded loaves, rolls and sandwich breads in commercial bakeries.
A heavy paper sack with a brown top band, a bright yellow middle, a lilac dotted lower half and the Zeelandia lion leaping across it, with a column of brown grain shapes down the side. The white label reads Panomix K / Dark Grain in English and Arabic, with the weight at 25 kg. Zeelandia is a bakery ingredients company known for its mixes and improvers. As general background, multigrain bread is commonly described as bread prepared with two or more types of grain, noting that some varieties also include edible seeds. A dark grain loaf typically has a dense, moist crumb and a crust that holds plenty of seeds. The gallery shows exactly that: thick slices of dark seeded bread topped with cream cheese, cucumber, radish and dill, rustic round loaves on a board, and a baker pressing seeded rolls onto a tray. Commonly, bakers follow the recipe on the sack for mix, flour, water and yeast, give a short knead, shape loaves or rolls, dip the tops in seeds, and bake until the crust sounds hollow. These loaves slice well for open sandwiches, cafe toast, breakfast boards and soup sides. Fold the lilac-and-yellow sack shut after each scoop and keep it raised on a pallet in the flour store.
