I was originally a test subject for their bread. I am so glad I was. I never have been able to master bread and I probably never will so I am glad that Sisters Three came along. When I tested their product I put it through the ringer. I give honest straight forward critiques of everything I try. And I was extra tough on this since it was bread. You can read my testimonial on their website listed under Eagle River. I played with this every way I could, monkey bread, letting it sit on the counter (that was the hardest test; not eating it)
Let me start out by saying, I read the ingredients on their packaging and I am like it’s nothing special. Normal mix, (its gluten/dairy/soy free for those who need this like me) but you whip this up and you smell fresh bread dough. I can’t explain it because I get this with no other bread mixes and I have tried a lot. I smell bread dough, it mixes like bread dough and it tastes like bread dough, I leave some in the bowl every time to just to eat the bread dough.
It makes wonderful loaves of bread, I have dinner rolls in the oven as we speak. I just rolled them into balls and placed on a greased cookie sheet and put into a warm oven to rise and I have the most beautiful rolls like you would get at a bakery.
I might add that I change how I make it just a little. they say add shortening and water. I am not a shortening fan becuase of the soy so I use earth balance soy free butter and I use almond milk or coconut milk. Dang its good.
I am sad only about one thing with their bread mix………………that is that I just used my last bag and I am really kind of depressed about that. I use it sparingly because I do enjoy it so much and I would just be plumb spoiled if I made it all the time. I wish I could but being on a budget I do have to watch my luxury items and this is pure luxury. the smell is amazing right now in my house…..Dinner please hurry up I want a big fat soft buttery roll.
Depending on where you get it, Spectrum Palm Shortening might be cheaper than the EB. Is the bread egg free, or can it be made that way?
I like the buttery taste of the Earth Balance, makes it very rich tasting like the buttery rolls my momma could make. Sisters Three does say egg subs work, I just can’t verify that for you since I have never personally tried it that way.
