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?

This is a great bread! It's a fully loaded wheat bread with honey, milk, and potatoes. It's much smoother and softer than other wheat breads.  The milk and the honey make it sweeter.

The potatoes make it tender and moist. Bread dries out on the counter, but potato flour is hygroscopic, that is, it draws moisture from the air. It doesn't dry out like other breads.

If you don't like wheat bread, you haven't tried this yet. 

"I really loved this bread mix....it's almost impossible to find a light wheat bread mix that really is light and not heavy and porous but this mix fits all my expectations!!"  Donna L. Walker 
"Not too sweet. Has a healthy, hearty texture. Great to use for sandwiches. Hubby and I both enjoyed it."  Sharyn Ueckert

No wonder this is one of our most popular breads.

  • Is this bread as good as Heritage Wheat Bread? I think so. It's basically Heritage Wheat with honey added. The combination of potato flour, milk, and honey makes a really great bread.
  • Is it sweeter than Heritage Wheat? Not that I can tell, about the same sweetness, but the combination of fructose, lactose, and a little sucrose feels just right. It's not sweet bread. It's a pleasant bread.
  • Can you taste the honey? I can't really pick it out, but my taste buds are a little worn out. I can taste the sweetness, though, and some reviewers definitely say they can taste the honey.
  • What makes this bread better than most other wheat breads? It's a good recipe made with better ingredients. We get our flour weekly. The flour is milled by General Mills in Montana, and we're only 93 miles from the Montana border.  It comes with a mill date stamped on it, and we have it in our packages and on the shelf within three or four weeks of being milled. Nobody else does that. We can only do that because we are so close to the mill. Stale flour tastes dry and stale--this stays fresh.
  • What else makes this bread different?  We don't use any preservatives--we hate them. That makes it a much healthier product for you and your family.
  • Well, how long will my bread last? The dry mix will last a year or more. Once baked, you've got about four or five days.  If you need it to last longer than that, just freeze part of your loaf.

This is an exceptional wheat bread. Most wheat breads are coarse and harsh, but this one is soft and moist, just like homemade white bread.

"I made this bread mix on a night when my whole family was coming to dinner. The taste was just right. Not too sweet, but you could taste a bit of honey. It was a huge hit, and there were no leftovers. Will purchase again."--Angie E
