"There's
not much as satisfying as fresh, homemade bread."
We’re
dedicated to helping you bake better bread.
Often we field questions about making great bread. Great bread is a matter of using the right ingredients and the right techniques—there’s no single secret that will make perfect bread. But really great bread is readily attainable.
Bread Mixes
 Idaho Potato White Bread Mixes This is a classic white bread with a mild, unique taste that will remind you of a continental bread. It works well for toast, meals, or sandwiches. Try it for breakfast with honey or preserves.- American White Rye for Bread Machines You will absolutely love this American Rye Bread. This bread is made with a blend of white rye and premium bread flours. White rye flour doesn't have the strong taste or coarse texture that is sometimes associated with rye breads.
- American Harvest Multi-Grain Bread Mixes We know that you're picky about the taste and texture of your whole grain breads. This has a wonderful mixture of grains--like millet, barley, and corn--and our finest whole wheat flour.
- Buttermilk White Bread If you are looking for a light and fluffy bread from your bread machine, this is it. This bread will come from your bread machine as light and moist and fluffy as some of the packaged commercial loaves from the store.

Tools and Ingredients
 The Serious Cook's Twelve Piece Measuring Set
You'll wonder how you ever lived without these measures. Now when you need 2/3-cup of brown sugar, you'll measure once instead of measuring 1/3-cup twice. That means that you are twice as fast. And measuring once is more accurate than measuring twice.- Premium Dough Conditioner Dough conditioner (or dough enhancer) is indispensable to the baking of great breads. Use this commercial grade conditioner for all of your yeast baking--pastries and breads. It creates an enhanced environment for the growth of yeast helping to make your breads and pastries more uniform and lighter.
- Baker's Dry Milk If you bake bread or yeasted pastries, use this high-heat treated dry milk in place of both the nonfat dry milk you buy in the stores and liquid milk. Your products will be lighter, better, with a better crumb.

Bread Recipes
 American Rye Bread Recipe his rye bread recipe uses white rye flour for a light bread that is great with meals or sandwiches. For a more traditional rye bread, add caraway seeds and substitute dark rye flour for the white rye.- 100% Whole Wheat Bread The key to really great 100% whole wheat bread is to extract the best flavors from the whole wheat and temper the harsh tones that sometimes accompany whole wheat flour.
- Golden California Raisin Bread This recipe has so many things to love. We love the taste of raisins and orange together. And we’re particularly partial of golden raisins.
- Italian Filled Bread Think pizza in a loaf. You can stuff this attractive braided bread with almost anything that you would put on a pizza. We'll show you how to make one of our favorites but make whatever suits your fancy.

 How to Mix Bread
Dough
Should you mix by hand or machine? What must you accomplish in mixing?
The correct techniques are here.- Fine Tuning Bread Machine Mixes Bread machines work on a timer. They mix, allow time for the bread to rise, and then bake. If the dough does not rise fast enough, then the loaf is dense with poor volume. If the dough rises too fast, it collapses with a depression in the middle.
- White vs. Brown (Bread) Brown (or whole wheat) bread is touted as the healthy choice. Does it deserve its acclaim? You be the judge. The following table compares the nutritional content of a one ounce slice of white bread versus wheat bread.
- Secrets of Great Breads Often we field questions about making great bread. Great bread is a matter of using the right ingredients and the right techniques—there’s no single secret that will make perfect bread.
