Measuring is the most laborious part of making bread in a bread machine. I've started using this method and it's working out for me. I keep old coffee containers but Mason jars or any other container could work too. I measure my flour, sugar and salt for each container. All I have left to do when I want to make a fresh bread is measure my water, olive oil, dump the pre-measured mixture and add the yeast. I don't put the yeast in with the sugar in my containers because the sugar could affect the yeast.
Sure works for me and saves me cleaning measuring cups multiple times.
