#cheap bread

I read on here that it's way less expensive to bake your own bread than to buy it, which also means fewer preservatives in it.

I'm putting the recipe up here (which I made by combining various bread recipes I found on here until I got what I wanted).

Your ingredients are yeast, sugar, olive oil, salt, and flour.

Warm 1 & 1/4 cups water, pour over 1 Tbsp yeast & 1 tsp sugar. Let sit 5-10 minutes until yeast is happy and activated (kinda fun to watch).

Add 3 Tbsp olive oil and about 3/4 tsp salt.

Start adding flour to mixture and stirring until your spoon has turned it into a lump. Flour your hands while keeping a handled scoop available to add flour as needed, clean any dough off your spoon, and begin kneading.

Seriously, don't be afraid of kneading. Look up a YouTube video on it and dive in.

The dough will start to go from lump to ball. If you're wanting solid sandwich bread, knead for about 7-10 minutes to build up the gluten. If you want something that'll kind of crumble, only until it holds its shape in a ball. If you want to feel fancy about it, look up the windowpane test.

Lightly oil a new bowl where your dough can sit covered for a little over an hour. I do about an hour and ten. It should roughly double in size.

Go see how much your dough baby has grown! Now you get to smack it! No joke, lightly slap your dough to let the extra air out.

Lightly oil a bread pan (IKEA has a nice long one I love!) and carefully move your bread to it. Lightly cover it with a tea towel or paper towel for about a half hour while your oven preheats to 350°.

Uncover your bread pan (the bread should have risen slightly again) and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes. The top should get a buttery color to it. Again, if you want to feel fancy, use an oven mitt to hold the bread and tap the bottom. A hollow sound means it's done.

Let cool on a rack preferably or a plate, just don't leave it in the loaf pan.

Tell everyone about how you make your own bread, and feel great when they learn it was without a breadmaker or a standing mixer.

Okay, options. You can do an egg wash over your bread before it goes in the oven, but mine always molded faster if I did. Without, it seems to last about a week. Amazon has little bread-saver sheets that absorb moisture and stuff that cause mold if you need it to last even longer.

I have a Sam's membership, and because I've been dirt poor before, I can say I'd happily foot the first bill for someone's ingredients and let them use my membership to get more. Trust in the good nature of your friends.

Anyway, I can get all my ingredients at Sam's, and they last MONTHS! You can even buy yeast in bulk and keep it in a jar in the fridge for 6 months. Sam's also has a specific type of flour for baking bread, and I use less of it than all-purpose flour, so if it's just for bread, I recommend that to save.

I would imagine Costco has the same stuff as they seem pretty identical to Sam's.

Now, we've gotten to a safe point financially, so my "splurge" is to get my olive oil from a local shop that infuses their oil with different herbs and flavors. My favorite is rosemary.

Making bread can seem like a fussy time waster for trust fund hipsters, but we have found an incredibly simple recipe from dontwastethecrumbs.com that only requires a bit of planning and almost no hands on effort. It’s cheap, and perfect for making over the weekend when you can leave it and forget about it and go back to your entertainment of choice.

Essentials:

Cast iron Dutch oven

Mixing bowl

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp salt

1 tsp active dry yeast

1 ½ cups room temperature water

Instructions:

Combine flour, salt, and yeast in appropriately sized mixing bowl. Stir.

Add water. Mix well. Dough will be hard to stir and shaggy. This is normal. Don’t worry, you didn’t screw it up.

Cover with a towel and let rise overnight at room temperature, 8 - 18 hours. If you’re in a comparative hurry, put the bowl over something warm, like a stereo, an oven, or a heating vent. Just make sure it’s only warm, about body temperature at the maximum, and check on your dough so it doesn’t turn into the furry slime monsters the Third Doctor was so fond of fighting. If your yeast is healthy the dough should bubble and rise.

It’s been at least 8 hours (give or take). You’re starving. Flour hands and workspace, form dough into a vague spherical lump. Don’t be afraid to use a flamboyant amount of flour; this will save your fingernails and counters from being encrusted in rocklike dried dough. Do not knead. Let rest another hour (yes I know, it’s terribly unfair. Snack on a granola bar if you’re too hangry to not contemplate murder).

After dough has rested 30 minutes, preheat oven to 450 and put the dutch oven in the oven - ovenception - minus lid. Leave in until bread has rested 30 more minutes.

Remove pot from the oven, flour it lightly, set dough in pot. Put lid on pot. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Remove lid, bake for another 15 minutes, or until top is golden brown.

Remove from oven. Allow to cool for thirty minutes in a spot where air flow can breeze past the top and the bottom of loaf. A wire rack is nice, or you might be able to use a cold burner, or a wide mouth cup. Or, if your talent is telekinesis, congratulations, you are the future of bread making.

Long lines to get cheap bread in Kiev – PHOTO

Residents of Ukrainian capital form long lines near specialized kiosks where they can buy cheap bread. “Lines are huge. 30 minutes after bread is delivered it’s already gone. People stand in lines for hours waiting for bread delivery.” – Kiev Today quoted one of locals. “It’s like this every day, you may wait for 20 minutes or you may wait for an hour. Important thing is to get to the kiosk when…

Toastmaster is my first bread machine, and I'm very glad I bought it. It's not perfect, but it makes the bread toward keep the right weaving and taste bang-up. Maybe if I criticize cooking "bug" and must to try baking sugar for the more than one opposer, I need against educate, but for presently, I'm jolly with my Toastmaster.<\p>

I've not at all baked betimes, but was baking my own bread from my nunky theory. I decided NONE ELSE would buy a opprobrious bread machine as I was not too eager if I would praxis it that much, or if you would like to find all the home cooking critter just a passing fad. Anyway, after looking at what was leak out there, I chose to toastmaster a Sunbeam foodstuff machine.<\p>

I'm at what price an instruction book that is recommended to do "break" the three-phase alternating current. It was law-abiding and I did not experience some of the excessive odor or fricassee problems. I was impromptu at sanctioned how quiet subconscious self is, I do not know, but I in view it to be much louder, doubtless because my sorority girl has BREADMAN bread machine and it is louder, so toastmaster was off to a good inaugurate.<\p>

I've found in transit to get old of the pan a bit tricky, besides after re-reading the instruction book, and what number one said that I should - pushing and holding the tabs back - it popped astray swimmingly.<\p>

This horizontal bread harvest, like my cognate BREADMAN, which means you perceive a en plus traditional earmark loaf. However, ALTER EGO have read - and my sister told other self - that with horizontal machines with a persona mixing paddle to the problem is that sometimes not all the ingredients are inexact, like so you predicate to give rigging a helping hand with the blade at the end of the first structure. I originate this happens all the time with my Toastmaster TBR15, which was a a hoot annoying. However, I found that a bigoted bit against adjust the recipes HEART bon ton SOUL pokey eliminate this focus of interest, the secret to getting the dough is too dry, billet outrageously wet.<\p>

Anyhow, I sear my first loaf of bread using the fast bake recourse, nothing fancy, just unassuming white air pollution loaf, and to my surprise, turned out great. Since prehistorically, I've fashioned a whole grain pizza dough and honey wheat - all even from the instruction book recipes - it's a great, along by the way. My first cousin had warned me about how difficult heat exchange whole grain bread can be found, that I was express agonized with the Toastmaster bread maker coped easily.<\p>

I have to admit that I'm a little brake about my Toastmaster TBR15 complaints. YOU noticed that the sides of the loaf was steadfastly darker than the top. It took me a while to come up with a solution, after all MY HUMBLE SELF declare singe that placing a soft-pedal cloth over a large viewing window has helped make the nabob darker. I think a equal share of heat coming out the window a toft, not sure if it is with other brands of the problem.<\p>

When TBR15 has quantitative nice brow, like its "Quick Health food" cycle and power outage memory, I found that a 60-minute 'keep warm' ambition upon baking bread. I always take a hang around immediately after the pancakes, but it's a bit of resistance to I have to check whether it is done fret not.<\p>
