Your Questions
- What does it taste like? It tastes like homemade bread like your grandmother made--much better than store bread.
- What's this bread like? Well, it's a creamy-white loaf with a bronze-colored crust. Even the crust is soft, not crunchy or chewy like an artisan bread. The interior is soft and white and moist.
- What makes it creamy-white instead of pure white? It's the touch of butter that you add.
- How tall is it? With the right water temperature, it's six or seven inches tall in your bread machine.
- Why is the water temperature important? The ideal temperature for yeast is 79 degrees.
- What if I don't have a bread machine? It's .
- It says "sweetness." Where does that come from? It's the milk. Dairy gives a sweet taste.
- It says "no preservatives." How long will it last? It doesn't have three weeks of preservatives like in the stores. We recommend not more than five days on the counter. If you're not going to use it all, slice it and put it in the freezer. Thaw it in the toaster.

Product Spotlight! How to Make a Better Tuna Sandwich
Tuna Salad on Texas Toast
Country Farm White Bread is a perfect bread for tuna sandwiches, grilled or not. This is not a grilled sandwich, though you can make it so. It's made on Texas toast. Texas toast is simply bread toasted in a hot skillet that's smeared with a little butter.
Toasting it in a skillet makes the bread a little crispy and the crust a little crunchy. The bread picks up the taste of the butter. It's a delightful way to prepare homemade bread.
About the tuna
We prefer albacore white tuna. It's incredible, almost like eating chicken.
Get all the oil or water out of the tuna. That's where the fishy, salty taste is. It's oily.
When I take the lid off the tin, I turn it upside down and squeeze the lid into the can, pressing the tuna. Merri Ann dumps the tuna into a small strainer and presses the tuna with the back of a large spoon. She probably gets more oil out.
About the tuna salad
For me, the basic is a good mayonnaise. Usually, that's good enough, but I'm generous with the mayo. If we have it, I use low-fat mayo or avocado mayonnaise. I often add sweet pickle relish, sometimes a little horseradish, and occasionally, sour cream. Ranch dressing is fine addition. It's fun to be creative.
Merri Ann likes her food more seasoned than I do. She will add minced onion, garlic, or chives and sometimes a little spice or chopped herbs. Chopped basil is good.
I tend to be creative. Try chopped apples or dried cranberries. Don't get carried away with the savories. Chopped cashews are incredible. If you want a little kick, add Thai sweet chili sauce.
You'll have a fabulous tuna sandwich with great bread, quality tuna, and a little creativity.

Never throw stale bread away, even a few slices. Put it in a plastic bag and freeze it. If you collect all the leftover bread from your kitchen, soon you'll have enough for a bread pudding.
Add a syrup or sauce to it, or put a scoop of ice cream on top, and you'll soon have a dandy dessert.
