OK well it's a bread mix which says on it "Specially prepared for gluten
restricted diets to make breads, cakes, muffins".  I paid $9.99 for a 2Kg
bag at the local Safeway store, I have not seen it anywhere else including
Co-Op...  It's made by Nelson David of Canada Winnipeg, Manitoba...
 
For a loaf of bread it suggests you use 3 cups of the mix, however I have
been experimenting and I found that if you double everything except the
yeast, you end up with a nice loaf of bread...  I used cream instead of milk
and it made a nice smooth texture too!
 
CELIMIX WHITE BREAD RECIPE
 
3 cups bread mix
1 1/2 cups warm milk or water
 
1 TBSP reg. dry yeast
3 TBSP cooking oil
 
Combine liquids together in a mixing bowl, including oil.  Add yeast and
stir until well dissolved (do not ferment).  Add bread mix and mis with an
egg beater for approx. 1 min.  Scrape batter into a lightly greased bread
pan (8x4x3 in.)  Spread the top of the batter with oil or water for a
smooth surface.  Cover the pan with a tea towel and let rise.  Batter should
rise to top of pan.  Bake in preheated oven at 375 - 400 deg. F. for
approx. 20 - 25 min.  Let cool...
