That's right, bread. Not the money kind, bread. I make my own bread in a machine thats better than anything you could buy and costs me well less than $1 for a 2Lb loaf . Same thing they charge $5 or more for in the gyp bakery. And it's fresh, not sitting there all day.

I also make bread as much of the bread here in Colombia has too much sugar (preservative). Sometimes I add a lot of chopped fresh basil to the dough which is great in thick slices with meatballs & Italian tomato sauce instead of spaghetti. I quite like hand-kneading instead of the machine though it can take 40 minutes to replicate a mixer. Builds the forearms anyway.
We got a bread making machine some time ago and it was a revelation. The bread coming out of it is so much better than the one in the store.
Try some Einkorn flour. Its not that GMO crap that causes belly bloat. https://jovialfoods.com/einkorn/
mlawson71, hope you're hip enough to buy your yeast in bulk, from Walmart or online. MUCH!! Cheaper. And once open will last for YEARS in the freezer.
I do buy my yeast in bulk online, I can't be bothered to run to the store every time it runs out otherwise. And, as you said, it's way cheaper.
