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?

For making a bread that doesn't go stale, there's a trick of mixing about 40% of the flour with a bit of water, heating it on a stove until it turns into a coagulated paste and then chilling it before mixing it back into the dough. That's how I make a brioche type yeast bread, but it should be possible to do for regular bread too.
