Prairie Sunflower Bread Mix
This nutty bread is a treat for toast and jam but works surprisingly well with sandwiches.
I love the Dakotas, with their wide open spaces filled with sunflowers and lonely highways stretching to the horizon.
It's a pleasant experience, driving the Dakotas. It's a trip back in time when settlers plowed the sod, planted fields, and raised families in sod homes. It's American.
We've driven the Dakotas often--sometimes, when it's all sunshine and sunflowers, sometimes with dark clouds and lightning fracturing the sky, and once when it was 20 below and blowing snow.
We love the Dakotas. We had to have Dakota sunflower bread.

- What's prairie sunflower bread like? It's nutty, really nutty--lots of sunflower kernels. You've never had a bread this nutty.
- Are the kernels hard? Sunflower seeds are a little softer than peanuts, not hard like walnuts.
- Is it a wheat or a white bread? It's a wheat bread, but it has enough white flour to temper the wheat flour.
- Is it a healthy bread? Yes. Whole wheat flour, lots of sunflower kernels, and milk.
- What's this bread like? It's a tawney-cream-colored loaf with a moist, soft interior and a soft, golden crust. It's not dry and crumbly at all.
- Will my kids like it? That depends on whether they like the seeds. The seeds are baked, so they're softer than what they might expect. If they like chunky peanut butter, they'll be okay with this.
- Why is the water temperature important? The ideal temperature for yeast is 79 degrees. That's where yeast grows best.
- Is it sweet? Not really, pleasant, and mild but not sweet. It does have milk and a touch of sugar.
- What do I need to add? Only butter and water. An SAF yeast packet is included!
- It says "no preservatives." We add nothing except a touch of dough enhancer to help the yeast grow. Without preservatives, it won't last forever. If you're not going to use it in four or five days, freeze the extra.
This is a bestseller. Nearly one in four reviewers say this is their "best" or "favorite" bread, which is pretty good considering there are nearly 100 breads to choose from.
"I have tried and enjoyed many of Prepared Pantry's bread mixes but have found Prairie Sunflower to be my favorite." Vicki Vaughn
This is the best light sunflower bread--made with freshly milled bread flour from Montana, just enough stone-ground whole wheat flour to give it body, and then loaded with sunflower seeds. You won't find anything like it elsewhere!
"Prairie Sunflower bread is awesome and flavorful, and you also get the nutty crunch of the sunflower seeds. Wow!! Totally delicious!!" Jeannie McCall
Your family will love it for sandwiches and toast. It's a hearty, healthy loaf yet moist and soft. Your family will love it.
