If you're serious about adding Bag Meals to your food storage,

I would go ahead and make the big batch . . . we will be using

this recipe for other bag meals.

If you want to try it before you make enough for 60 loaves . . .

Here's the Recipe for a single batch of bread:

Combine 1/2 cup Sugar

1/4 cup Dehydrated Shorteneing

1 Tbsp. Salt

To Make the Bread:

Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. yeast into 2 cups warm water.

Let stand until yeast dissolves and begins to foam.

Add:

3 cups Warm Water

3/4 cup Homemade Bread Mix

3/4 cup Vital Wheat Gluten, Optional

Knead in about 10-11 cups of flour to make a soft dough.

Continue kneading for 8-10 minutes.

Shape and place in four well-greased medium-sized bread pans.

Let rise until double in bulk, about 25-45 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Remove loaves from pans and place side by side on a towel.

Cover completely with the towel and place on a rack to cool.

Makes 4 medium loaves.

Now that you have the Bread Mix Recipe we can put

all of the contents into the bag.
