Hi

I was wondering if anyone knows of any outlets for bread baking ingredients - flours, yeasts, improvers, etc - and / or the equipment required for bread making?

I seem to recall seeing an ad in Citylife for a specialist place but that was quite a while ago now.

Fed up with store bought stuff and wouldn't mind making my own.

Thanks for any help

Try Yok.

I just visited this two places yesterday and today first one is

Yok (Nim plaza branch) google map 18.75527,99.008202

and Puen Kraowr in Nong Hoi area. google map 18.800124,98.994364

These two are pretty much the same but I would personally recommen Puen Kraowr as they also carry mutimalt mix, seven grain mix, rye, spelt, oat flour, even whole grain rye! etc.. (consider most Thai prefer white bread and their approach to bread as sweet rather than savory)

Puen Kraowr

Yok

Try Yok.

Agreed.We get all our ingredients from Yok. Located on the super highway not far from the Arcade Bus Terminal ,same side,south of. One of the more interesting stores in CM for a whole host of products,not only baking.

Yok on the superhighway is nice because it is also open on Sunday but you get better prices and Bake Mart (phuen Krua) on the CM Lamphun road before 89 plaza.

Both places can order your proofers and other things. Or you can buy direct from Champ or King Machines in BKK.

Thanks for all the replies people, very helpful.

Tolstoy, what are Champ and King Machines?

Champ used to have (and still might) a store on the left side of makro parking lot. Haven't been there in over a year, but have bought decent cooking oven and heavy duty mixer directly from them at prices that were way cheaper than Yok...

OK, thanks.

Out of interest, does anyone have any idea how equipment prices compare up here in Chiang Mai to in Bangkok?

you can buy directly from the main stores and have them shipped especially if you are buying quite a few things. Just do a search on the web to find their prices.

You don't like Makro's country cobs or French baguettes?

I keep a Macro French Baguette under the car seat in case of trouble, less suspicious than a tire iron and much more lethal.

I wanted to buy some ingredients from the puen krua shop but when i asked where they came from was told america. Since that country grows a lot of genetically modified grains i felt unable to buy anything. I wonder if anybody has investigated further the source of all the ingredients that are sold in chiang mai shops?

Your choice, GM or lots of chemicals ground up in the flour. I know my choice.

That photo of Yok doesn't look like Yok here. Is that a stock photo from their website or something?

GM includes lots of chemicals.

It's a pretty poor choice, gm chemical ingredients or chemical ingredients.
