Making homemade bread mix
Hello,
I would like to mix my bread ingretients and put the mix into ziplock bags. Would the mix stay fresh and for how long? I make bread almost everyday so I would like to make up the mixes ahead of time. Thank you in advance for answering my question.
Thank you, George

My guess is that the mix would stay as fresh as the separate ingredients. You probably would only mix dry ingredients. If you include whole grains, you'll have to be concerned about them. Certain other ingredients also need to be refrigerated.
I would suggest only mixing dry ingredients and storing the mix according to the most perishible one.

Lots of people with bread machines make up their own mixes. It's a big convenience if you're pressed for time. Some people keep them out on the counter, some in the fridge, depending on the makeup of their mixes.
Here's another link to some bread mix or bread mix for gift discussion on TFL.
