Mix makes bread easy, even for beginners

Never baked bread? Fleischmann's Simply Homemade No Knead Bread Mix is a good first step. Mix water into the box's contents (packets of yeast, sugar, bread mix), shape dough into a loaf, let rise, then bake. The dough was easy to handle, produced an artisan-sturdy loaf and took less than an hour (57 minutes, to be exact) from start to finish.

Its suggested retail price is $2.99 for a 14-ounce box. At most area grocery stores; simplyhomemadebread.com.
