I checked my Walmart. Premium bread flour is $5.25 for 5lb (enough for 6-7 loaves). The cheapest bread is $2.50. Bread is a pain to make, I won't deny that, but your time would have to be pretty valuable to erase the savings.
For me it was more the responsibility to keep the sourdough well and alive, without really baking a loaf every few days/once a week
At least it didn't work for us last time
Maybe, I should give it another try and read up more before - because bread is a delicious rabbit hole
I'm a huge fan of soda bread, which does not require sourdough (or yeast). You can go from "I have no bread" to "I am eating bread" in about 40 minutes.
The rising is done via buttermilk and baking soda.
Yes, I can make more money than I save by making my own bread with the time used
How is your bread so expensive? Cheapest loaf here is £0.45 for 800g in Aldi, most other shops same size is about £0.70-£0.90
