I the stores I have seen packages of bread machine mixes (kinda like cake mixes) so most of the ingredients are already in it. I wonder if I could make my own bread machine mixes............anybody have any thoughts?
Thanks,

I refuse to buy a bread machine b/c I will start another addiction going lol :D

Try a google search a bunch come up.

I don't see why you couldn't. You could just mix together the dry ingredients called for in the recipe (flour, salt, yeast, etc) and add the wet ones (water, butter, honey, etc) when you're ready to make the bread. The only problem might be keeping the yeast from becoming inactive over a period of time. I don't think you could freeze them though because that might kill the yeast.

its easier to just make the recipe when you are going to use it,,if you have the yeast and flour, you will probably have the rest of the stuff you need. . and it would be cheaper and fresher too.

That's true. Besides, I don't make bread that often anyway. I'm just always trying to think of quicker and easier ways to do things.

boy, this makes me want to make some, i love the smell..try adding some italian seasoning to it. have some butter handy.!!!!!

The yeast is in a separate package. You only add the warm water and yeast, sometimes a egg.

Oh, that sounds so good! You're making me hungry.

Thanks!
