Can I use this mix in my 1 pound capacity or 1.5 pound capacity bread machine?

We have designed our mixes specifically for 2 lb. capacity machines. However, you may still find success with 1.5 lb. capacity machines. You may expect to see the top of the loaf touch the lid of the machine towards the end of the baking cycle. This may lead to imperfect baking in that one spot on the loaf. The rest of the loaf should be fine. For 1 lb. bread machines, we recommend only running the bread on the dough cycle and then transfer the dough to a pan for baking in a conventional oven. See packaging for more info.

Why do the directions ask me to use a thermometer?

Yeast is very sensitive to heat and other environmental factors. We have tested and designed our mixes to find the sweet spot for yeast activity to get the best rise. Even just a few degrees off on water temperature can make a big impact on the quality of your bread. Measuring the temperature of your water accurately is the best way to ensure consistently successful bread baking.

I followed the directions exactly and I see had a problem with my bread? What can I do?

Sometimes bread issues happen. We are happy to help. Send us a picture of your bread and a picture of the back packaging of your bread mix to our customer support email at customerservice@preparedpantry.com. Include as much detail as possible about your baking process and bread machine model so we can troubleshoot the cause of the issue.

Should I adjust my mix for high altitudes?

We don't recommend making any changes to the mix for high altitudes. We have tested our mixes in a variety of locations and have fine tuned each mix to be the best product possible.

I don't have a bread machine or a stand-type mixer. Can I still make this bread in my oven?

Homemade bread is always better than store bread. It's a different product with different ingredients and hand-crafted goodness. And without all preservatives and additives, it's better for you. It's freshly baked in your kitchen this week, not three weeks ago.

No wonder it's different, better. Homemade just tastes better.

  • What's the main difference between this homemade bread and store bread? Do you mean beyond the chemicals? For me, there are two. The taste is very different. And the crumb, the texture is very different. Store bread is doughy. Homemade bread is soft, but it has some structure to it.
  • What's this bread like? Well, it's a white loaf with a bronze-colored crust. The crust is soft, not tough or crunchy. The interior is soft and white and moist.
  • That sounds an awful lot like Country Farm White Bread. What's the difference? The flavor. The buttermilk. It adds flavor to the bread.
  • Well, what's the flavor like? It's loaded with dairy, which makes the bread smoother and sweeter. Buttermilk replaces the sweet milk. That adds flavor. It's not like sourdough, but it has a little tang.
  • How tall is it? With the right water temperature, it's six or seven inches tall in your bread machine.
  • What if I don't have a bread machine? It's easy to make in your oven.
  • Will my kids like it? It's a kid's delight, soft and light and way better than Wonderbread.

Takes me way back, yummm. We love this white bread, really love it. It's that slight tang it gives that makes you go Ooooo. When I made this the first time, the feel and texture took me back to my childhood when we'd wait for the breadman to deliver just-made bread from his truck. Everyone was ready and almost drooling. Perfect...and so was this. Since that first order, I've ordered and made it many times and it's always consistently perfect and you will always hear Ooooooo. JennyDinVa
