Key features & specs

How it compares

This mix is unique among sprouted grain bread mixes because it is entirely grain-free, using almond flour and coconut flour instead of any grains. Compared to traditional sprouted wheat bread mixes (like Food for Life or Bob's Red Mill), Simple Mills offers a lower glycemic option with more healthy fats and protein. It also surpasses many gluten-free bread mixes that rely on rice flour and starches, delivering a more nutrient-dense loaf.

What to know before buying

Follow these tips to make the most of this artisan bread mix.

1. Use a standard loaf pan (8.5x4.5 inches) for best results; line with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Whisk the dry mix thoroughly before adding wet ingredients to avoid lumps.
3. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing to allow flours to absorb moisture.
4. Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing—this improves the crumb structure.
6. Store any leftover bread in the refrigerator or freezer; it stays fresh for up to 5 days chilled.
