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.

    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
