The Prepared Pantry Bread Mix, New England Rustic Sourdough, 19 Ounce

This is an excellent, highly recommended heritage bread.  It's moist but made with a mixture of seven grains.  You'll taste a bit of sourdough tang from starters like the early New Englanders made. Our early settlers didn't have a lot of refined, sifted flours. You'll find a mixture of whole grains to create a very good rustic loaf and yet it's moist and soft and holds together well. It has a split top crust like authentic artisan loaves even from your bread machine. This is a wonderful morning bread, one of the best breads for toast. Served warm with a pat of butter, you'll find it scrumptious. Try it with your favorite soup or toast it and make some great sandwiches. This is a great bread for grilled sandwiches. If you make this bread in your bread machine, water temperature is critical. Please use a thermometer to measure water at exactly 80 degrees. A ten degree difference in water temperature can double the growth rate of the yeast. These bread mixes are satisfaction guaranteed when you use a thermometer.
