Only $2.99! Heritage Wheat Bread Mix. Limit 3
This is a very soft wheat bread with a fine crumb.
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.
- What makes this mix better than other wheat breads? It's a good recipe with better ingredients. The flour is milled by General Mills in Montana. We're 93 miles from the Montana border.
- What else? Potato flour and milk. It costs more to make bread with potato flour and milk, but it sure makes better bread. The lactose in the milk makes the bread softer and sweeter. But the potato flour makes a real difference. Potato flour is hygroscopic. Instead of drying out like wheat flour it acts like a sponge and draws moisture from the air--not much but enough to make the crumb softer and moister. It's just a more pleasant bread.
- Anything else? It's fresher. Flour is packaged in paper bags. We get our flour weekly. Then we get it out of the paper and into the mixes and Mylar bags right away. That helps.
- What else makes this bread different? The preservatives. We hate preservatives. So, we don't use any. It's a healthier product.
- Well, how long will my bread last? The bread mix will last a long time. Most mixes will last a year or more. Once baked, use it in four or five days. If you need it to last longer than that, freeze part of your loaf.

This is not your ordinary whole wheat bread, it's made with potato flour and lots of sweet milk. The potato flour gives it just a hint of rustic flavor, almost sourdough. And the milk is a sweetener--lactose--and the combination is delightful. Potato flour is hygroscopic, that is, it absorbs moisture from the air instead of drying out as wheat flour does. It stays fresher, longer.
The result is a tempting loaf that is tender and moist with the nutty taste of fresh ground wheat. It's better tasting than other whole wheat breads.

I love it…easy
It always bakes nice and high with no problems. It is light, not with a lot of grains
almost like white bread. I wish we had your store around my area where I could
shop and look at things. I have a bread machine so all is good.
I will definitely order this one again. It is very good and even raises more than the some of the others. In fact, I may have to use the Wheat setting on my machine even though it was suggested I use the White Bread setting. I used the White Bread setting this time but it raised so high it stuck to the domed cover of my machine. Still came out delicious. You guys just keep on outdoing yourselves. I miss being able to shop in store though. I live in Blackfoot but I would still come up there. I am disabled so making the trip just to pick stuff up really isn't feasible for me. I want to be able to look around and see the new things.
While I love everything from this company, and I am so thrilled to have found them, the wheat breads are second to none! I've read reviews where they say to add a little honey, and I plan to do that next time, but it really doesn't need anything; it is ready to go and absolutely delicious! And it makes the whole house smell absolutely wonderful!
