Do you make your own bread?

[MisterTinkles]

I considered learning to make home made bread, but was told this method is more expensive than just buying it (is this true?), so I have never bothered.

Yes, you can go buy a loaf of cheap bread for as low as $1.00.

If you buy a 5# bag of flour, and buy yeast, baking powder or baking soda (depending on what kind of bread you are making), it may cost about $20.00, but you will be able to make about 4-5 loaves. Yeah, thats almost $5 a loaf, but you make it yourself, and you know what went into it.

Plus, you can alter your recipes with shredded veggies, grated cheese, nuts, seeds, berries, grains, spices, etc......so you can have whatever bread you want.

My granny used to make Beer Bread sometimes. I hate Beer, but OMG it made the bread MORE "bready" tasting!!!! And I like that.

Beer Bread is also one of the cheapest breads to make. I will post a recipe for this on my recipe of the day thread...
