How to Make a Bread Machine Mix

A supply of quart-size, self-sealing bags and you are ready to start making mixes.

Some stick-on notes or labels or adhesive labels to write instructions on.

Note: Once the mixes are prepared you’ll need to store them in a cool, dry, dark place.

1 T. wheat germ (or 2 T. graham flour)
2 T. gluten*
