New York Rye Bread Mix

This will take you back to New York and its delicatessens.

SKU: M66-1

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?

Oh my, this is great bread!

This is a traditional New York rye bread: chewy, crusty, and flavorful.

It is a medium light-colored bread with the distinctive taste of rye, with or without the optional caraway seeds. This is an exceptional bread mix.

You can make a great New York-style rye bread in your own kitchen!

Your Questions

  • What size loaf does this make? A large--over 1 1/2 pound--loaf.
  • What do I add? Just water. An SAF yeast packet is enclosed. 
  • What does it taste like? Like an authentic New York rye bread. You can taste the rye and the caraway seeds if you choose to use them.
  • What's this bread like? Well, it's a creamy-white loaf with a bronze-colored crust. The crust is lightly crunchy.
  • How tall is it? With the right water temperature, it's six or seven inches tall in your bread machine.
  • Why is the water temperature important? The ideal temperature for yeast is 79 degrees. We tell you 80 degrees. That's easier to remember.
  • What if I don't have a bread machine? It's easy to make in your oven.
  • It says "no preservatives." How long will it last? It doesn't have three weeks of preservatives like in the stores.  We recommend not more than five days on the counter. If you're not going to use it all, slice it and put it in the freezer.  Thaw it in the toaster.

You'll make a homemade deli loaf in your kitchen. Homemade is always better.

Delicious!

Have had the mix since early summer but didn't make until this week...n

o other words needed to describe it. It was delicious as affirmed by my hubby. I did use the caraway seeds and bread machine. I think the next time I will bake in oven so loaf is regular size. Bread machine makes it taller... and I would like longer. Product is a keeper.

Wife made a loaf, she checked it with a thermometer but the inside rubbery and the crust was hard. Would never recommend this mix and certainly will not buy again.
