Buttermilk White Bread Mix
This is white bread from yesteryear--creamy white, soft, and with just a touch of buttermilk tang. So good!
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.
Homemade bread is always better than store bread. It's a different product with different ingredients and hand-crafted goodness. And without all preservatives and additives, it's better for you. It's freshly baked in your kitchen this week, not three weeks ago.
No wonder it's different, better. Homemade just tastes better.
- What's the main difference between this homemade bread and store bread? Do you mean beyond the chemicals? For me, there are two. The taste is very different. And the crumb, the texture is very different. Sstore bread is doughy. Homemade bread is soft, but it has some structure to it. It's not meant for dough balls.
- What's this bread like? Well, it's a white loaf with a bronze-colored crust. The crust is soft, not tough or crunchy. The interior is soft and white and moist.
- That sounds an awful lot like Country Farm White. What's the difference? The flavor. The buttermilk. It adds flavor to the bread.
- Well, what's the flavor like? Country Farm White. It's loaded with dairy, which makes the bread smoother and sweeter. Buttermilk replaces the sweet milk. That adds flavor. It's not like sourdough, but it has a little tang. The flavor is not nearly as strong as sourdough.
- How tall is it? It's like Country Farm white. With the right water temperature, it's six or seven inches tall in your bread machine.
- What if I don't have a bread machine? It's easy to make in your oven.
- Will my kids like it? It's a kid's delight, soft and light and way better than Wonderbread.
