The Prepared Pantry Country Farm White Bread Mix; Single Pack; For Bread Machine or Oven

This rye bread was so good! The moistness and flavor were delicious. This pack was so easy to use, and the directions were simple to read. Well worth the price. You have the option to use a breadmaker or your oven. Either way, your reward is that first taste of melted butter on the warm bread. The versatility is that you can add anything to these different packs, or you can make muffins, rolls, or pizza. Maybe not rye pizza, but who knows, whatever floats your boat! Prepared Pantry has a wide selection of tasty treats!

This is very good and tasty yummy

Super easy . Hot water 1 1/2 cups .. I did use my own yeast 2 tsp. In bread machine. Definitely will buy again!

The mix itself is excellent. I used it in a bread machine, so keep this in mind. The flavor is excellent compared to the zero-fiber, over-yeasted rip-off paste you get at the supermarket. But...there are three things you should know: 1) Do not follow the recipe with the butter. Three pounds of butter in a 1.5-pound loaf makes bread-flavored butter-soup. I suggest a half-stick of butter instead. (Unsalted, since the mix has tons of sodium in it.) Maybe only a little in the mix--just split the loaf when it's done and put the melted butter into the slit. I don't know--get creative. 2) The included yeast was dead. If you're doing the bread machine thing like I did, just pop over to the grocery store and buy some Fleischmann's bread machine yeast. A lot of the bad reviews for this product are obviously due to too much butter in a loaf that didn't rise because of dead yeast. As I test, I remixed my deflated test loaf with Fleishmann's yeast, re-cooked it and it rose respectability. Case closed. 3) Don't beat yourself up with the water temp if you're using a bread machine. Fresh yeast (like from a grocery store, where it moves off the shelf), will be fine at any temp from like 80 to 120 degrees. Anyway, if you're dumping the water at the bottom of bread machine's pan, it will be cooled to room temp because the pan is *metal*, and radiates the heat away immediately. The bread machine supplies the correct temp during the kneading and rise cycles. The initial water temp has very little to do with the actual temp of the mix when it's time to rise. Think about it. Also: Be careful how much water you put into the bread machine's pan. If you're putting a lot of butter in the mix, the water content of the butter counts toward the '1 cup' of water the instructions reference. Bread dough should be sticky and firm, and if rolled up in a ball it should stay in form--mostly. If it's too runny, it won't hold its shape during the rise phase, and the CO2 that yeast is producing will escape, and leave behind a deflated loaf of bread. Really just common sense.

I have a 1.5 lb. bread machine. I used 3/4 of the ingredients and it worked great! Best bread machine mix I’ve ever had! Definitely buying again!

Gave this bread packet to my son. He loves to bake fresh bread & he said this was a very delicious bread. It was super simple to make.

The bread is very good, especially if you do the dough in the bread machine and then oven bake it. A big ol however is the ship. Really? Outrageous ship. I have Prime and I was shocked SHOCKED that the ship was not only free with Prime, but it was more than the product. C'mon, Prepared Pantry. I'll be making it from scratch. But thanks for the inspiration, PP.

Simple to make and great taste
