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 once did some math just before starting to make my own "bread". I learned it's about 3-4 times cheaper to make it myself (and to get much more at the same time).

So, after maybe fifteen years I retried making it myself. It's a chore, yes, but the fruits are a little bit more rewarding than how awful the tedious work feels like 😅

(of course, if you can buy old bread which date is past the best before, you can go cheap without making food yerself).
