French Bread Mix.

Impossible bread! How do you make perfect French bread in a bread machine?

SKU: M95-1

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?

It's easy to make wonderful French bread--even if you've never baked bread before! All you add is water.

You'll make amazing bread with an authentic French bread taste and with a crisp, chewy crust. It's like a trip to the bakery, but it will be yours, and it's fresh.

It doesn't matter whether you use your bread machine or your stand-type mixer and bake it in the oven. You can bake it in a loaf pan or on a baking sheet. It doesn't even matter how you shape the loaf--round or long or whatever. It all comes out as a crusty French bread with a soft interior.

See what you can make!

Nothing is more convenient than a bread machine. And with this mix, you can get an authentic European artisan crust.  But sometimes, you'll want to make a round loaf or rolls in your oven. Here's how to make oven loaves in three easy steps.

Consider making garlic bread in only 15 minutes.

French Bread

Great flavor-Only issue i have is the size i have to make. I live alone and that's more bread than I can eat before it goes bad-I wish they had all the mixes in a 1lb size or 1.5 size.

Make my loaf in a cloche

After running the mix on dough cycle, make the dough into a ball to rise in my cloche. Then bake in 450° oven for 30 minutes. Makes a lovely, crusty peasant styled bread.
