I have a old, no longer sold, yard sale, bread machine but so far have only used it for pizza dough .... every Friday night! It's going right now! We have taken to grilling our pizza now so that in the Summer we don't have to give up pizza because it makes the kitchen too hot. We like it this way so much that we even grill it in the winter now.

The only problem might be keeping the yeast from becoming inactive over a period of time. I don't think you could freeze them though because that might kill the yeast.

I have made my bread mix, to take camping with me and make it
when we camp. I mix all the dry ingredients together, I also cut in
the butter and lard, mix the yeast in and freeze in a zip lock baggie,
never had any problems with the yeast going bad.

I use a lot of yeast especially in the winter months so when I open a large pack or bottle and do not plan on using it up quickly, I always put it in a sealed container and freeze it. The trick is take out the amount of yeast needed for the next project and let it get room temperature before using it in the recipe. It just wakes up nicely. Sometimes I will add the yeast, warm water and little sugar or potato powder and let it start to work - bubble up. That way I never get the bread all together before I knew if the yeast is alive. Also I seem to get better bread this way as the yeast is already doing its work. As I grind my own flour, I do that just before I add it to the mix so the flour is nice and warm.
I have been making kits for bread, biscuits and cookies for years. I will try and find the book and pass it along. It saves money to do this ahead and you are always prepared. I usually store smaller packets in something like the "save a meal" or use a "Foodsaver" machine so they last longer. Have a good day!

I had one, never used it, then won another at a party/fund raiser.
Never used either one, gave them to my kids, and I'm not too
sure either of them ever used them.
When I want home made bread I want to get rid of stress by
beating the heck out of innocent flour mixtures.
