Red River Valley Settlers Multi-Grain Bread Mix
Like cracked wheat bread, this is made with coarsely chopped grains.

This is an Americana bread, wholesome and hearty like our grandparents used to make.
The Red River drains the hills and fertile plains of northwestern Minnesota and eastern North Dakota. Settlers have been growing grains in this fertile valley and making hearty, wholesome bread since 1820. This Red River Valley wheat bread is made with eight hearty grains--a great heritage bread that your family will enjoy, a wholesome bread without preservatives.
Grains can be used in breads in four forms:
- As flours--though only wheat flour has the proteins to form gluten, which gives bread its chewy, elastic texture.
- As rolled grains. Rolled oats and other rolled grains meld into the bread and make the bread chewy and moist.
- As finely chopped grains. Finely chopped grains may be the consistency of coarse salt but cook soft and nearly unnoticeable. They give breads a chewy, hearty texture with occasional grains.
- As coarsely chopped grains. Coarsely chopped grains are distinct, chewy nuggets in the bread. Often, they are presoaked to make them softer. In a bread machine, with a three-hour cycle, the grains are softened.
The grains in this bread are finely chopped. They bake soft and chewy, with a hardy and wholesome texture, yet the bread is still soft and moist.

Makes a large loaf
- Makes a perfect crunchy toast or chewy bread for soup or sandwiches
- Makes perfect bread in all popular 1 1/2 to 2-pound bread machines--or in your oven.
- SAF gourmet yeast packet inside.
- Directions and tips for perfect bread are included. You can make this bread in your bread machine, by hand, or with a stand-type mixer.

Directions for use in the oven
- Place the mix in your stand-type mixer along with the yeast and melted butter or oil (if called for on package directions). Add water. Use 110°F water instead of 80°F.
- With the dough hook, mix slowly until the dough ball forms. Turn the speed to medium high and mix for five to ten minutes until the gluten forms and the dough becomes stretchy and elastic.
- Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about one hour, depending on room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Turn the dough onto a lightly greased or floured work area and form your loaf. Place your dough in a 9 x 5-inch pan or other pan and let rise until the size has doubled and bubbles are about to surface.
- When the bread has raised, place the loaf on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 35 minutes or until the bread is done. The internal temperature should reach 190°F. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing.
NOTE: If you make this bread in your bread machine, water temperature is critical. Please use a thermometer to measure water at 80 degrees and we'll guarantee the bread. If you are baking the bread in the oven, use water that is 110°F.
