[I made] basic white bread
I came across this recipe for basic white bread (what the recipe called it), is a nice sandwich bread. Not to crumby and firm pain in taste. But it's easy and cheap to make.
I didn't take pictures but used the dough from the other loaf to make cinnamon rolls, got ate too quickly.
You're viewing a single thread.
Just wondering you mention easy and cheap. I am paying around $4 for a loaf of decent ingredients (nothing too great but nothing horrible) plain bread. What is the cost for making it yourself?
I pay $2 a week in flour and maybe $3 for dried fruit a week to put into home made sourdough. You can buy a 10lb. Bag of all purpose flour at all the grocery stores in town for ~ $4.
If you skip the fruit it would be about half what you’re spending, though if you want whole wheat flour that would probably double the flour cost at a minimum.
You need to factor in the electricity you used to bake and the water and cleaning agent to clean the utensils
Sure and the water/milk/olive oil too but those cost pennies per serving so I didn’t really think it was worth adding.
Gas stove: .02 Olive oil: .10 Milk: .25 Rosemary: .01 Water: .00 (we never go over the minimum so no charge for water) Soap: .005 Flour: $2 (including sourdough starter usage) Brad pan: .02 (estimated wear and tear)
Total: $2.405 which was close enough to $2 for jazz.
