Russ:
I do this all the time. I mix all the ingredients except liquids, yeast
& raisins or nuts since they need to be added after the initial mixing
of the machine. I haven't had any flops yet. About once a month I'll gp
thru my bread machine database & choose about 20 recipes to "BAG UP". Do
it all one day & label the bags with a marker with any ingredients &
machine settings needed & toss in the freezer, pull out the day before I
need it to come to room temp and have at it.
Good Luck!!
