Hey, c/frugal, I was reading through this little post, (https://lazysoci.al/post/23833029) when a comment about baking bread reminded me of something I had heard back on reddit: that apparently baking bread is a great way to be frugal. <br> I haven’t had bread for a while, and would love to engage with the bread-eating community again, and so I wish to ask your favorite frugal bread recipes! From loaves to naan, I would love your input :) <br> P.S. I would also love to ask what you all think of breadmakers, are they a good frugal buy?
I once did some math just before starting to make my own “bread”. I learned it’s about 3-4 times cheaper to make it myself (and to get much more at the same time).
So, after maybe fifteen years I retried making it myself. It’s a chore, yes, but the fruits are a little bit more rewarding than how awful the tedious work feels like 😅
(of course, if you can buy old bread which date is past the best before, you can go cheap without making food yerself).
My wife bakes two loafes of sourdough bread every Weekend, without a breadmaker or anything Its always great, even when its “bad” its still way better than any storebought bread
