Combine Ingredients:
In your largest mixing bowl or container, pour in the All-Purpose Flour, Sugar, Salt, and Instant Nonfat Dry Milk.

Carefully scoop the prepared mix into a large, airtight storage container. A sturdy plastic bucket or several large jars work well for this quantity.

Don't skip this step! Clearly label the container with the name ("All-Purpose Roll Mix") and the date it was prepared.
-
Storage:
Store the container in a cool, dry place, like a pantry or cabinet.
