New! Swedish Brown Sourdough Bread Mix

This is breakfast bread. At least to me. A very good breakfast bread. 

Over the weeks of development, I brought three loaves home and fell in love.  It's one of my favorite toast and jam breads, a breakfast bread.

• Toast and jam
• Breakfast sandwiches
• French toast

And I like peanut butter and jam like the kids, and will eat it like your kids. If you're trying to get the kids to eat brown bread, try this one.

It's not a musclebound sourdough; it has just a touch of sourdough, and it's a little sweeter than sourdough.  The touch of sweetness and sourdough comes off as a bit of extra flavor. It's still a mild, pleasant bread. It's a light, moist bread.

We tinkered with this bread for weeks. I'm not sure it's very Swedish anymore, but it's too good not to share.   

Over the weeks of development, I brought three loaves home and fell in love with them. It's one of my favorite toast and jam breads, a breakfast bread. And I like peanut butter and jam like the kids, and that certainly works. If you're trying to get the kids to eat brown bread, try this one. And I can eat a grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast.

"So many people need a hug, a forehead kiss, and a grilled cheese sandwich cut diagonally."--Carla

The sandwich below is grilled until the cheese is goey, a white cheese like Havarti, with a couple slices of deli ham buried and warm honey smeared over the top. Eat it with a fork. It'll make your day.

• It sounds like you're describing a white bread, not a wheat bread. What gives?  No, it's a wheat bread, it's just soft and gentle. It's a great brown bread, not harsh at all. 
• What makes this bread better than other wheat breads? It's a fine recipe with a great sourdough tempered with a little bread flour.  The bread flour is a fresh flour milled in Montana. 
• Does fresh matter? Yes. 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.
• Tell me about the sourdough. We get the sourdough, a dry sourdough, from a Spanish company.  Different regions have different sourdoughs. European sourdoughs tend to be milder than San Francisco sourdough.
• 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 in four or five days.  If you need it to last longer than that, freeze part of your loaf.

Jams and Jellies

During development, I used those three loaves for sandwiches and morning toast and jam. Merri Ann had a four-berry jam from France that was perfect. Choose your perfect jam from these rare and hard-to-find spreads.

Overnight Baked French Toast

This is breakfast without the prep. Assemble it on say, Wednesday evening and stick it in the oven Satuday morning., All the work is done.

Bread Pudding

This is a soft bread, so you can make great bread pudding. If your bread is several days old, slice it and put it in the freezer for future bread puddings. You can mix breads.

You can be creative. Bread pudding is very forgiving. Add nuts and fruit—peaches, berries, and apples. There's only one rule: Use your probe-type thermometer to get the pudding to 165 degrees.

The following link will give you five recipes.  Pick one and add fruit or modify it the way you would like.
