Breadmaker bread mixes are essentially dried versions of all the normal ingredients. You cannot replace the oil and water with an instant version, thus you have to add them to the finished bread mix. Some mixed that you can buy in baking stores already come with the yeast packed separately and others do not, which means that you have to add your own in the end. Sometimes these bread mixes lack essential nutrients because the ingredients are all dried, instant or simply not fresh, but other mixes are more convenient than the fresh version such as fruit bread mixes, because fresh fruit hardly works in bread.
You can buy the breadmaker bread mixes in specialized baking stores in your locality or also in the supermarket. If you are more of a home buddy, then you can also order online. The prices for breadmaker bread mixes range from $5 to $10 depending on amount of mix and ingredients. You can even order pastry mixes that you can prepare with your breadmaker.

You need 3 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of sugar, one teaspoon of dry milk, 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, 2 ½ teaspoons of active dry yeast, 1 ¼ cups of warm water and one tablespoon of vegetable oil preferably olive oil. Place and mix all the dried ingredients into a jar and place the yeast in a small plastic bag over the mix and screw the top lid of the jar closed. This mix is ready to use anytime, but will expire within a couple of days. Once you want to use your breadmaker bread mixes, you just need to add the water and the oil and select the white cycle mode.
As mentioned earlier, breadmaker bread mixes do not last that long especially if they are regular mixes. Sour mixes can last longer because of the added lacto bacteria. Choose your breadmaker bread mixes carefully and do not forget to have fun while baking these treats.
