The Prepared Pantry New England Soup and Sandwich Bread Mix; Single Pack; For Bread Machine or Oven

New England's cold climate is not surprising, as it is the reason why New Englanders make bread with substance. This almost white bread, a moist and delightful bread, is made with just enough whole grains to create a wholesome and hearty heritage bread that your family will enjoy, without any preservatives. Grains can be used in bread in four forms: as flours, where only wheat flour has the proteins to form gluten, which gives bread its chewy, elastic texture; as rolled grains, which meld into the bread but make it chewy and moist; as finely chopped grains, which cook soft and nearly unnoticeable, giving the bread a chewy, hearty texture with occasional grains; and as coarsely chopped grains, which are distinct, chewy nuggets in the bread, often presoaked to make them softer. In a bread machine with a three-hour cycle, the grains are softened.

The grains in this bread are finely chopped, baking soft and chewy, with a hardy and wholesome texture, yet the bread remains soft and moist. The bread is nearly white, making it easy for kids to accept as one of their favorites. It is a great bread for toast and sandwiches, a soft and moist bread that your family will love.

When making this bread in a bread machine, the water temperature is critical. Use a thermometer to measure the water at exactly 80 degrees, as a ten-degree difference in water temperature can double the growth rate of the yeast.
