Bread machine mixes

With Matt and my Allergies, i've been making bread for my family BUT frankly it makes a mess and i hate having stale bread by the time i get to the fourth loaf, SO, I came up with my own bread mix for my bread machine. I make probably 10 of these at a time and i go through them in under two weeks. BUT we use A LOT of bread. but i don't have the mess daily in my house, just open a zip lock bag and pop it in the machine.

Be CERTAIN to keep the mixes in the refrigerator. or the yeast will go bad. I only mix up the basic white bread, then if i feel like a variation, THEN i add TO the mix.
