Bread Machine Mix

by Deb Vaughn

Combine the following ingredients to make your "mix":

20 cups of flour (see NOTES)
1 cup sugar or brown sugar
1 heaping tablespoon salt
1 cup powdered buttermilk

METHOD: Combine ingredients thoroughly and store in an air-tight container in a cool place. Makes 6 quarts (24 cups) of mix.

USING THE MIX:
Put into your bread machine in order:

1 cup warm water
1 egg (See NOTES)
2 tablespoons butter or cooking oil
3 1/2 cups bread mix
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Bake on short cycle. Makes one large 1 1/2 pound loaf.

NOTES:

Any combination of flours can be used, replacing up to half of the flour (10 cups) with a whole grain flour. For EACH CUP of whole grain flour used, add 1 tablespoon of vital wheat gluten to the mix.
Substitute powdered egg for a fresh egg if you are going to be baking the bread on a timer.
Mix may be used to make pizza dough, calzones, "Sin"-amon rolls or dinner rolls. Remove dough at the end of the first kneading/rise cycle and finish by hand.
