Red River Valley Settlers Multi-Grain Bread
This is a "soft but hearty" bread that your whole family will enjoy.
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 an Americana bread, wholesome and hearty like our grandparents used to make.
If you like our Big Sky Cracked Wheat Bread, try this. Instead of having chopped wheat pieces, it's multigrain, a very good bread.
"Soft yet hearty. My favorite breads have “nuts and seeds”, my phrase for hearty loaves. Red River Settlers is a good compromise between soft white and your heavier grain breads. An occasional crunch, but still a light wheat bread. Enjoyed it warm with butter." -- Donna"This is a great bread. My family loved this bread from the time they could smelling it cooking till they finished eating it all!" -- raymond weinrich
"Best bread mix! Love the different grains in this mix . My friends liked the bread so much they ordered the mix for themselves" -- Beverly Morford
It's a prairie bread. 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 mix 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.
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.

Great bread and service.
Best bread so far
Trying all of them.
I can’t believe how easy these bread mixes are to use: everything is included, even the yeast. And they produce a perfect loaf of bread in my machine every time. But the best part is that the bread is amazing!
I baked this bread just the other day. It was chilly outside and fresh bread with a bowl of chili sounded just right. Holy moly is this bread good. It fell while baking (my fault) but that didn't stop anyone from tearing off a chunk, slathering it with butter and stuffing it in their mouths. I should probably order a few more to bake. Yum!
I love all The Pampered Pantry mixes. I use a bread machine and these mixes are easy to prepare for the machine.
