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. 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 :) P.S. I would also love to ask what you all think of breadmakers, are they a good frugal buy?

I had to stop all iodized salt for a while for some treatments so I ended up making a lot of my own bread. Even though I’m back to a regular diet now my gf loves the bread so much I end up making a loaf weekly. I usually half this recipe for a single loaf.

Super simple. Also fairly fast if you use instant yeast to skip the first rise. The key is to use honey as a sweetener instead of refined sugar. It’ll help the bread last longer without moulding
