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 use a breadmaker every few days, definitely worth it for me. The mental load compared to making it in the oven is just nothing. Just put the ingredients in (takes maybe 3 min) and go to sleep. (Idk if fire is possible but I have a fire alarm so...) Next day you have fresh bread. So wayyy too boring if you want to make bread as a hobby but perfect if you just want bread.

For "recipies" I just use flour, water, salt and yeast + maybe other stuff to change it up (egg, olive oil, sunflower seeds, nuts, olives...)
