SAINT JOHN'S BREAD MIX
"Johnny Bread"


The recipe for Saint John's Bread was brought to Minnesota and perfected by pioneer Benedictine monks from Bavaria. Melding rye flour common in Europe with lighter wheat flour abundant in the USA, its hearty texture and distinctive crust are a central part of St. John's tradition -- prized by residents and visitors alike. "The Loaf That Became a Legend" is now available to bake at home! Mix is approx. 15 ounces and includes a yeast package and instructions for bread machines or regular baking. Baked loaf makes eight two-slice servings.

This St John's bread is a wonderful delicious hearty bread. My favorite all time bread. I haven't found anything as good as this. I heartily recommend trying it for yourself and supporting a monastery at the same time.
