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. <br> 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 :) <br> P.S. I would also love to ask what you all think of breadmakers, are they a good frugal buy?
I make all my own bread, never owned a bread maker. Sourdough is delicious and healthy, but takes some planning. Highly recommend pantrymama.com for all things sourdough.
Pro tip, bread of any type freezes really well. I bake a loaf, slice it, and put slips of parchment in between each slice so I can pull one or two pieces out at a time. Never put it in the fridge though, because that just makes it stale.
King Arthur flour is another good resource (and good flour). They have a hotline where you can get help if needed.
