Only $5.29! Big Sky Cracked Wheat Bread (How to Make Garden Salad Sandwiches). Limit 1
A soft, light loaf with soft, chewable nuggets in every bite--nothing hard!
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.
This is a garden salad sandwich on a wholesome homemade bread. These are fresh from the garden--tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions--but you can change them as you wish.
And it's got a secret ingredient — a homemade Zesty Ranch Sandwich Spread. It's easy.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped sweet onion
- 1/2 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Mix all the ingredients together. Instead of sour cream, you may substitute mayonnaise. If you substitute fresh buttermilk, you may use this as a salad dressing.
Reduce or omit the garlic if you like.

"This bread is amazing, I love the texture and the taste."-- Woodrow Lee Jr.
Our nuggets are better, softer.
Cracked wheat bread is made with cracked wheat. The cracked wheat can be hard, and hard to chew. Ours are softer, chewy nuggets.
Our wheat kernel pieces are smaller. They are the star of the bread. Why is that important? Smaller pieces cook soft, not hard, and are not hard to chew. This bread is full of chewy little nuggets. It gives you something substantial, soft, and pleasant for your sandwich.
Then it's the milk. We load the bread with milk. It mellows and sweetens the bread. Lactose is a sugar. But it's good for you.
No wonder our cracked wheat bread is better.
This is a healthy bread. It has a clean label--sugar, salt, yeast, and dough conditioner are added. Nothing else. None of the preservatives found in store bread that make it last forever. You can trust this bread. It's good and good for you.
You're going to enjoy this bread. It's a five-star bread. Give it a try.

Your Questions
- What makes this bread so good? The basic recipe is a really good recipe with better ingredients. The flour is milled by General Mills in Montana. We're 93 miles from the Montana border.
- What else? The cracked wheat and milk. It costs more to make bread with milk, but it sure makes better bread. The lactose in the milk makes the bread softer and sweeter.
- What about the cracked wheat? That's fun! They're chewy little pieces, not hard. If the pieces are too big, they don't get soft. These are perfect. It gives it an almost texture.
- 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.
- Those sandwiches look really good. What makes this a sandwich bread? It's moist and wholesome and holds together well. You'll like it. It's a bestseller.
- 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 mix will last a long time. Most mixes will last a year or more. Once baked, use it within four or five days. If you need it to last longer than that, freeze part of your loaf.

While I’m obsessed with the ease with which I can make fresh bread in my bread machine, Big Sky is perfect. --Dawn Samples
Chewy bits of cracked grain have the time during my machine cycle to soften perfectly. Not bitter or crunchy like other grain breads.
Wonderful! The Big Sky Cracked Wheat bread has a wonderful aroma when baking. The cracked wheat is just enough. Crust is perfect.
