Baking Supplies for your Pantry

Here is a list of supplies that will be necessary to complete our bread recipes when using our Norton's Wellbread(tm) Recipe Base bread mixes. These are concentrates of organic, fresh milled whole grains blended for nutrition, aroma and taste. You need to have the following available to complete these original recipes (the exception is Our Special Diet bread products are complete in that no additional flour is added to create the recipe.):

Yeast Breads Pantry Supplies

Baker's Yeast-Bread machine or Fast yeast (for short bread machine cycle)
Honey or sugar (we prefer organic raw orange blossom honey in our recipes)
Raisins, dried cranberries... to taste
Fresh basil (to add to bread or olive oil for dipping bread and toast)
