As part of the new meal plan I not only wanted to do freezer meals but I also wanted to add dry mixes too. One of the mixes I made this week was this mix for bread machine bread. It's so simple to use. All you have to do is add the mix and a few ingredients to the bread machine, push a few buttons and tada! Bread:)
Breadmaker Mix
What you need:
- 13 c. bread flour
- 2 T. salt
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. dry milk
Mix those ingredients together until they are well blended. Pour into 4 quart bags or jars and label Breadmaker Mix. When you are ready to bake add to your bread machine:
- 1 1/4 c. warm water
- 1 1/2 T oil
- 1 jar Breadmaker Mix
- 2 t. yeast
Put your bread machine on the basic or light setting and let it go!
This is can a very simple way to store "bread" right in your pantry and have a fresh loaf whenever you need one! Even though the bread machine takes a while to mix and bake you still have hardly any work involved for you!

What a fabulous idea! Thank you!
Your recipe says 1 jar Breadmaker Mix, about how many cups is that?
It is 1 quart of mix, which is a little over 3 cups. About 3 1/3 c. of mix.
I’m wondering if it would be ok to freeze this mix…I’m guessing yes…lol
Yep go for it!
This would make a good gift – along the lines of those jarred cookie mixes – only better. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow.
This looks great. Is your setting for 1 1/2 lbs.?
It’s for a 2lb loaf.
Is that 13 cups of flour?
Yes, 13 cups of flour and this recipe will make enough for 4 loaves of bread.
Hmmm. Lets come up with some variations!! What could we add?
Love having it all ready! Thanks
Is dry milk the same as powder milk
Yes
Would you have a gluten free option like this for the bread maker?
I don’t yet
