Fully Loaded Baked Potato Bread Mix
This is, first and foremost, a sandwich bread--with meals attached.
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?
- Yes! Our bread mixes are designed for bread machines or oven. You can make them in a variety of ways such as a free standing artisan loaf, rolls, hamburger buns and more. See our Bread Baking Guide for more info on baking bread in the oven.

Customer Questions
- What is a fully loaded-baked potato? It's a main dish in Idaho. That's fully loaded baked potatoes above. To make them, bake them, dig them out of the shell, mash them with bacon, sour cream, and other ingredients, load them up, and stick them back in the oven. There are detailed instructions below.
- Are the bacon bits and potatoes real? The bacon bits are flavored. The potato flour is real.
- What's this bread like? It's a potato bread. It's soft and plump and moist as you would expect a potato to be. It's loaded with bacon bits, sour cream, and chives.
- Will my kids like it? Most kids will go for the bacon and sour cream. I don't know about the chives. There are not a lot of them, and they're baked and soft, so you can probably sneak them by the kids.
- How big is the loaf? It's a big loaf, about two pounds.
- What do I need to add? Only water and butter.
- How long will it keep? It's homemade bread and doesn't have the chemicals and preservatives of store bread so it won't last forever. The potato flour helps keep it moist and soft. If you're not going to use it in five or six days, freeze the extra.
Dennis Weaver
Potato breads are moist, soft, and flavorful. But when you add sour cream, chives, and bacon bits, you have great bread.
What others say:
This makes an outstanding sandwich bread. The flavors are not overwhelming, so it also makes a nice accompaniment to a meal. And butter on this warm bread is amazing.
Serve this to your family and friends; it will blow their sox off.

I don't know if it was packaged wrong, but it did NOT taste like loaded baked potato to me or my family. We all agree that it tastes like vegetable soup. It still paired really well with the broccoli cheddar soup we made. Will definitely get some more
Awesome
