| 0:00.0 | I like to say that it's a meal prep kit with clean ingredients for baking because once you mix up the lukewarm water with this bucket of the dry mix, it rises in two to three hours. |
| 0:14.2 | So the work and effort is really just minimal. |
| 0:17.7 | And then it's a matter of waiting. |
| 0:19.3 | And when it is done after that, it'll have risen to the top. And you have about a gallon of dough that you can play with. But it'll last up to two weeks in the fridge. So now it's just a matter of keeping it in the fridge, pulling it out, going handful at a time. And essentially, you could have fresh bread for dinner every night if you |
| 0:38.9 | wanted, or like you said, a quick pizza at lunch, or mix it up a little special, different, get |
| 0:43.9 | creative, turn it into a pretzel, or any numerous amount of things that you can do with |
| 0:49.0 | this really versatile dough. And the best part, though, is that this mix, there's no preservatives or fats or |
| 0:57.9 | oils, there's no dairies, no eggs, no sugars are added. It's just the certified organic good |
| 1:04.1 | stuff in a bucket, ready for you to mix up and use it your leisure. |

| 1:26.4 | I'm Ramon Vela and I believe that |
| 1:28.6 | people want to know more about the brands and products they purchase. So each week, I interview |
| 1:33.6 | the founder of a consumer brand, unpacked our story, their products, their mission, so you can |
| 1:38.6 | decide which products are worth buying and which brands are worth supporting. |
| 1:52.1 | Chris says, I figured I should make something that goes back to the basics and gives people something a little bit better as far as ingredients goes. |
| 1:56.3 | Today we interview Chris Wysong, owner and founder of Bucket of Bread. |
| 2:01.6 | Bucket of Bread provides baking mixes that are made with certified organic ingredients, |

| 2:13.9 | Simply add lukewarm water to the recyclable bucket, mix, and you'll end up with a dough that |
