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?

How to Make South of the Border Pigs in a Blanket with this mix!

Pigs in a blanket are so fun to make and to serve. This adds a southwest vibe to your pigs.

This bread mix will make 18 pigs in a blanket. Freeze any extras or make Mexican dinner rolls with part of your mix.

  • Mix the bread dough according to package instructions in a stand mixer with a dough hook for about five minutes or until the gluten is developed and the dough becomes stretchy. Or use your bread machine.
  • Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thick. Let it relax for ten minutes and roll it again if needed. Cut it into circles or rectangles sized to wrap around your hot dogs.
  • Cut a slit in each hot dog lengthwise and put the sliced cheese into the slit. If you want to use a condiment, such as mustard, spread it onto each dough piece, leaving a clean border along the long edges to squeeze the dough together. Place the hot dog in the center.
  • Wrap the dough around the hot dog, pressing the edges together where they overlap, and repeat until each pig has a blanket. Let it rise for about 30-45 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until the dough just starts to brown.

Why are people so crazy about this bread?

It's five-star good, and they can't find anything like it in the store. It's not just that it's homemade; it's a really good bread with flavor and punch, and people want to try it.

"This is, hands down, the absolute best bread that my family has ever enjoyed! . . . After baking and cooling, this loaf was gone in an hour.  This is simply EXTRAORDINARY bread.  --Celia George

  • Made with sour cream, a blend of Mexican spices, and cilantro.
  • It's flavorful but not hot, maybe a "4" on a scale of 1 to 10.
  • A fun regional bread to try with Mexican dishes.
  • The sour cream makes it particularly soft and moist.
  • This mix makes a large loaf, about 1 pound, 10 ounces.
