Pan de Agua Bread Mix.
This is the popular white bread of the Caribbean--perfect for breakfast or sandwiches.
Can I use this mix in my 1 pound capacity or 1.5 pound capacity bread machine?
We have designed our mixes specially 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. 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 the back packaging off your bread mix to our email at customerservice@preparedpantry.com. Include all the details of what happened and a picture of the failed bread loaf.
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.

Why do people love this bread so much--the reviews are incredible?
It's been around for a long time, perfected over generations. It has a crisp outer layer and a satisfying crunch with a soft interior and an easy sourdough flavor reminiscent of the country breads of Europe,
It's the ultimate comfort food, filling your kitchen with the aroma of homemade bread baking--the warmth of a family kitchen.
- What does pan de agua taste like? It has a slight sourdough taste to it, not nearly like a full sourdough bread, but more character and taste than a grocery store loaf.
- What's this bread like? It's a creamy-white loaf with a lightly crackly crust. The interior is creamy and soft.
- Will my kids like it? Kids like white bread, and the crust is not so hard as to put them off.
- Can I make it round or long? Both. We'll give you directions below. You can also bake it in a bread pan or use your bread machine. If you use a bread machine, you'll need a 2-pound machine.
- How big is the loaf? In your bread machine, it should be six inches or more.
- Why is the water temperature important? The ideal temperature for yeast is 79 degrees. That's where yeast grows best.
- Is it sweet at all? Not really, pleasant, but not sweet.
- What do I need to add? Only water.
- 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.
Pan de agua is the "water bread" loved throughout the Caribbean. It makes a great sandwich bread but is commonly used as a breakfast bread. The shape varies by country, but in each country, it's creamy white, lightly crispy on the outside, soft and white on the inside, and very lightly sourdough.

—Featured Review—
My bread machine is over 20 years old, and my family is spoiled as I make fresh bread about once a week with it, for dinner. Also, having fresh cinnamon and raisin bread in the mornings is a hit, too! I just add the mix, set the timer, and go! Your mixes have great flavor, there’s never leftovers!
This is a great all around bread, good for sandwiches as well as toast and French tooast
Not so great. Tasteless compared to your other mixes.
But for some reason, I enjoyed it! I will order it again!
It’s become one of my favorite breads. A little sweetness, some tang flavor.
