We love homemade breads in our home. I used to do it the hard way and kneed my dough by hand but now I have a bread machine and it is so much easier. We do not purchase commercial bread machine mixes. This will make a great gift if you have a bread maker on your Christmas list. It is also great to just keep on hand for your own use.
These mixes are great for homemade gift baskets. Just add them to a basket with a loaf pan, mixing bowl and spoon or whatever. Bread Baskets are always a welcome gift and very frugal.

9 cups bread flour
9 Tablespoon sugar
9 Tablespoon nonfat dry milk
4 ½ tsp salt
Mix the above and put it in quart jars for gift giving or Ziploc bags
Directions to add on the jar
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoon butter or margarine softened
1 ½ tsp active dry yeast
Beaten egg white and sesame seeds optional
To prepare rolls: Place water in bread machine pan.
Add roll mix. Top with butter and yeast.
Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing;
add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down; cover and let stand for 10 minutes.

however, on work days, I could be convinced to plug in the bread machine.
I'll try it!
