Only $2.99! Country Farm White Bread Mix. Limit 3
This old-fashioned homemade country bread makes everything better.
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?
- Yes! Our bread mixes are designed for bread machines or oven. You can make them in a variety of ways such as a free standing artisan loaf, rolls, hamburger buns and more. See our Bread Baking Guide for more info on baking bread in the oven.
It's the kind of bread you eat with butter and jam while it's still warm.
It makes ordinary sandwiches better--grilled cheese, tuna melts, and more. It's homemade country bread like your grandmother used to make and our #1 bestseller.
My mother taught me how to make this bread--before we had bread machines and even stand-type mixers. And you can make it today--in a bread machine or in your oven.
Your grandmother would have been proud of this bread. See how good, old-fashioned homemade country bread can be.
This is our number-one bestselling bread.
Your Questions
- What does it taste like? It tastes like homemade bread like your grandmother made--much better than store bread.
- What's this bread like? Well, it's a creamy-white loaf with a bronze-colored crust. Even the crust is soft, not crunchy or chewy like an artisan bread. The interior is soft and white and moist.
- What makes it creamy-white instead of pure white? It's the touch of butter that you add.
- How tall is it? With the right water temperature, it's six or seven inches tall in your bread machine.
- Why is the water temperature important? The ideal temperature for yeast is 79 degrees.
- What if I don't have a bread machine? It's easy to make in your oven.
- It says "sweetness." Where does that come from? It's the milk. Dairy gives a sweet taste.
- It says "no preservatives." How long will it last? It doesn't have three weeks of preservatives like in the stores. We recommend not more than five days on the counter. If you're not going to use it all, slice it and put it in the freezer. Thaw it in the toaster.

Product Spotlight! How to Make a Better Tuna Sandwich
Tuna Salad on Texas Toast
Country Farm White Bread is a perfect bread for tuna sandwiches, grilled or not. This is not a grilled sandwich, though you can make it so. It's made on Texas toast. Texas toast is simply bread toasted in a hot skillet that's smeared with a little butter.
Toasting it in a skillet makes the bread a little crispy and the crust a little crunchy. The bread picks up the taste of the butter. It's a delightful way to prepare homemade bread.
About the tuna
We prefer albacore white tuna. It's incredible, almost like eating chicken.
Get all the oil or water out of the tuna. That's where the fishy, salty taste is. It's oily.
When I take the lid off the tin, I turn it upside down and squeeze the lid into the can, pressing the tuna. Merri Ann dumps the tuna into a small strainer and presses the tuna with the back of a large spoon. She probably gets more oil out.
About the tuna salad
For me, the basic is a good mayonnaise. Usually, that's good enough, but I'm generous with the mayo. If we have it, I use low-fat mayo or avocado mayonnaise. I often add sweet pickle relish, sometimes a little horseradish, and occasionally, sour cream. Ranch dressing is fine addition. It's fun to be creative.
Merri Ann likes her food more seasoned than I do. She will add minced onion, garlic, or chives and sometimes a little spice or chopped herbs. Chopped basil is good.
I tend to be creative. Try chopped apples or dried cranberries. Don't get carried away with the savories. Chopped cashews are incredible. If you want a little kick, add Thai sweet chili sauce.
You'll have a fabulous tuna sandwich with great bread, quality tuna, and a little creativity.

—Featured Review—
I been making Bread for some time now and have made mistakes but I learned over a long period, with that said it's convenient having a quick way to make bread t like this one it has a very nice flavor and it's easy. I made this today and am disappointed because it just wouldn't rise and now have a brick. I think it may be the Yeast package and not being very fresh. I am very disappointed because I was looking forward to having it for dinner and not sure if I will purchase again.
Very excellent
I ordered 8 packages...3 different kinds of bread mixes. I used this one a couple of days ago . .first one I've used so far. It's very difficult to find bread mixer mixes anywhere and when I found these on the internet, I was extremely excited. I use my old bread mixer quite often in the Fall and winter. My family and I love fresh bread and we were not disappointed. It cooked perfectly and tasted amazing! I can hardly wait to try the others. I would recommend these highly! I'm very thankful I found Prepared Pantry!!
I love all the different breads that I purchase!
They are all delicious!
This is my first time using a bread mix. Although the dough seemed rather sticky, it rose well and baked up nicely. Tasted very good. Will make again. Thank you.
