SKU: M30-1

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?

This is bread that you can trust- healthy and hearty from the heart of America. Look at the ingredients. First, it's wheat flour purchased from mills in Montana, then it's cracked wheat, and then it's milk.

Look again. Then it's sugar, salt, yeast, and dough conditioner. Nothing else. None of the preservatives found in store bread that makes it last forever.  

You can trust this bread. It's good and good for you.

The star of the bread is the cracked wheat. Only cracked wheat. We buy it in 50-pound bags. But it's not chunky, they're smaller pieces.  Why is that important? Smaller pieces cook soft, not hard and hard to chew. The bread is full of chewy little nuggets. It gives you something substantial, soft, and pleasant for your breakfast.

You're going to enjoy this bread. It's a five-star bread.  

Give it a try.

Your Questions
  • What makes this bread so good? The basic recipe is a really good recipe with better ingredients.  The flour is milled by General Mills in Montana. We're 93 miles from the Montana border. 
  • What else? The cracked wheat and milk.  It costs more to make bread with milk, but it sure makes better bread. The lactose in the milk makes the bread softer and sweeter. 
  • What about the cracked wheat? That's fun! They're chewy little pieces, not hard. If the pieces are too big, they don't get soft.  These are perfect. It gives it an almost texture.
  • Anything else? It's fresher. 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.
  • Those sandwiches look really good. What makes this a sandwich bread? It's moist and wholesome and holds together well.  You'll like it. It's a bestseller.
  • 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 within four or five days.  If you need it to last longer than that, freeze part of your loaf.

What others say:

While I’m obsessed with the ease with which I can make fresh bread in my bread machine, Big Sky is perfect.  --Dawn Samples

Chewy bits of cracked grain have the time during my machine cycle to soften perfectly. Not bitter or crunchy like other grain breads.

Wonderful! The Big Sky Cracked Wheat bread has a wonderful aroma when baking. The cracked wheat is just enough. Crust is perfect.

Better than sliced bread! This is a very flavorful, hearty wheat bread, and I have fallen in love with it! I will be definitely buying it by the case for fall!

I knew it was going to be good when I added the butter. It's very good. I'll be buying it again.  --JEREMY TEJES

This mix made a good size loaf in the machine. It slices perfectly with few crumbs on the cutting board. It works great for toasting and dipping in your breakfast eggs. The cracked wheat makes for surprise crunchy bits in every bite. It is also very well suited to grilled sandwiches.  --William Hinkle 

Great bread! Super light and fluffy. Definitely our favorite wheat bread!  --MLP

Cracked wheat produces big grins! Not only is this recipe flavorful, but the bread is so light it almost isn't there! I will definitely order this one again!  --Laurel Adams

Easy peasy, nice and easy in the bread machine, and was tasty and definitely head and shoulders over store-bought processed white bread. As the saying goes, The whiter the bread, the sooner you’re dead!  --Henry Szlenkier

"Bread the way it used to be! Remember the smell and taste of old-fashioned, fresh-baked bread? Well, maybe not in our modern world. But you can get that back with these bread mixes." David Phelps

I haven't used the cracked wheat bread mix yet, but if it's as good as the others I'm sure it will be delicious.
