why don't more people make their own bread? fuck paying 5 bucks for a loaf of plastic poison. it takes 5 minutes to make dough, let it ferment for a day or two, then bake it. simple as. are fast food goyim that fucking stupid?
>>
One time I tried making bread and forgot the yeast :(
>>
Do you even test your wheat for deoxynivalenol?
>>
i dont have enough room for that, and my oven isnt good enough for baking

instead i buy two loaves of fresh local bread on mondays (2 for 1 ~= $5)

sounds like the excuses of a fat ass goyslop golem. oink fatty, oink!

>>21919562
>why don't more people
Yeah, why is it more people don't buy flour, yeast, oil, butter, and spend several hours learning how to make bread?

Its not an easy task to make a nice loaf of bread, usually takes some practice and other trial and error, then you have to keep practicing and accounting for temperature differences in your house and moisture content, etc. Versus $5 for this great loaf of bread. How much work are you willing to do in order to save a couple dollars a week?
>>
>>21919562
People are lazy, making basic bread is the easiest goddamn thing.

good for you
i dont have space on my counter for making/shaping dough, nor a place to store baking bowls
you know those frozen lasagnas that take ~35 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 200C? that takes well over 90 minutes for me after heating the oven for half an hour

next up: you're gonna call it a skill issue

countertop toaster oven - the other half of the counter is just large enough for a cutting board or dish rack

You only need about a cutting boards worth of space to make dough my dude

Convenience?

I don't make my phone, I don't raise my chicken, I don't make my own clothes, I don't build my own house, I don't make my own bread. Kind of how society functions? Why should I spend time and effort trying to learn how to make bread, when I can just pay 2 bucks for a loaf from a baker?

Everyone has a task, that's why society even functions. Baker is an expert, he can make my bread I'll pay what I make in 10min.
>>
>>21919616
you make $12 an hour?

approx. 40x60cm, with the short side facing outward
it IS possible for sure, but the logistics are fiddly enough to turn preparing a stir fry into an annoyance

but my main problem with baking is the oven + storage space for the extra equipment

I had that issue in my old studio apartment, I ended up just getting a small folding table for when I was cooking anytging more complex than my tiny counter space allowed for

>why don't more people make their own bread?
don't know how.
they never considered it.
don't have time.
it won't be as consistent without practice. it took me a couple years to get good at it.
don't have time.
they aren't deranged poltards.
don't have the proper pans and other equipment.
don't have time.
bread is only easy once you know how to do it.
they don't care to.

I make my own bread (very good bread), but I still buy bread because of the convenience, and consistent quality.

even in ye olde days people often did not make their own bread. most people didn't have a kitchen much less an oven so they got bread from the local baker. sometimes they made their own bread but did not have an oven so they would take it to the baker to bake it.

I don't grow my own produce or meat because I don't have the space for most of it, and where I live gardening is difficult because of the excessive heat. by july most common vegetables die from the heat. potato plants don't even make it to April before they wilt and die. so I have to buy them.
>>
>>21919616
This, professional equipment is needed to make it properly. Also you can buy fresh sourdough bread, slice it and freeze it for when you need it.

My grandma's evening caretaker was Indian (by way of Guyana). She had balls of dough on the kitchen counter every day she was working. She'd have whatever leftover stew or curry from home in a tupperware, but wanted her fresh bread to enjoy with it.
She showed the 3 she routinely made:
1- chapati bread: and it was an unleavened pancake of flattened dough, just warmed up in a nonstick til slightly browned each side. Hand patted or rolled, didn't matter.
2 - paratha bread: which was the same dough, but buttered or oiled, then rerolled and reballed up over and over, to create nice flaky layers as crisp as a croissant. It's similar to kulcha bread if you add onion, garlic, etc or make it with yogurt in the dough.
3-Busted up Shirt, for the roti bread similar to the Jamaican style , which is a middle ground between the 2 above breads, but smacked really hard when it comes off the grill still steamy, ie busted up, and the bread gets a bit torn up looking with shaggy flaky pieces when you rewarm it.

So, no you don't need yeast, if you're poor. Using different flours like chickpea can make it more fun.
>>
>>21919662
good idea there

>>21919562

Make sourdough bread from scratch. The type of loaves you could sell for like $10-12 AUD.

Less than $1 in ingredients. .

I make gluten free bread. It's tasty.

You can bake bread, then slice it and freeze it so you'll have some ready whenever you want it.

I make french boules or bâtards once a week for my bread, I have a sourdough starter that I've been rolling for a month or I just use active dry yeast and let it preferment the night before. It's not hard but it's not for everyone.

White sandwich bread doesn't need to preferment because it gets most of it's rise from steam.

Making something look and feel like bread is easy, but thew few times I made it I couldn't get the taste right. It sucked

You need to be a genius to bake bread.
>>
>>21920414
You can just mix flour and water in equal parts then pour it in a pan and fry it. It tastes fine. Probably better if you add some salt.
>>
>>21919562
because bread is still one of the cheapest foods to buy
and most people dont eat that much
buy a loaf per week, freeze slices and defrost when needed
bakery ranging $3-$5/loaf = $13-$22/month
supermarket: as cheap as $1/loaf = $4.3/month
self made: as cheap as 30c/loaf = $1.29/month

>>21919586
Bread baking is adjacent with other forms of baking. Cakes, desserts, cooking for a large group, all these things require trial and error. A bag of flour costs like $1 and gets you two good sized loaves of bread.

You're basically lazy.
>>
>Muh "I don't have time" argument

If you want to be 100% efficient at everything in life why not just kill yourself because you're going to end up dead one day anyway so nothing matters.

Better yet why don't you leave a fucking a baking thread because we can already assume you aren't interested in baking, oh you want to tell me it's a waste of time well see aforementioned argument that you should kill yourself, bitch.

Any room temperature IQ redditor can make a sourdough on the bread subreddit.

Remember during COVID that everybody started making sourdough? It was almost a mockery upon bakers.
>>
>>21919586
I spent zero time learning to make bread. Mashed in flour yeast water and salt and mixed it with more flour until it didn't stick. Good.

>>21919579
You can roast your dough in a pan, or you can just fry it in oil.

Not quite "bread" in the common sense but I have been baking a lot of focaccia lately, it takes a bit of time, around 3-4 hours but only about 30 mins of actual work spread out over that period. Only needs flour, yeast, water, olive oil and salt.
It's easy to make and I like to experiment with toppings. Sometimes I have some grated cheese leftover and mix that with the dough, it's very tasty. Pic related is when I tried whole grain flour with grated cheese, was surprisingly tasty with a little bit of butter.

>Not quite "bread"
How is focaccia [bread] not "bread"?
>>
There are no decent recipes for straight bread. Everything online is ultragay: no-knead, sourdough, cold ferment.

I just want to mix the ingredients, knead, rest for an hour, and bake

It's just not the kind of bread I grew up with and it's quite different from a "normal" bread like pic related. But that is only my personal view of it.

Which brand had a good breadmaker?

>>21919562
Making good bread takes far more effort than grabbing one in the store. Also I don't want to fill my house with more mold attracting particles.
>>
because it's never GOOD like the ones in the bakery, it's acceptable, great for toasts, maybe even good for a sandwich but never those crusty delicious loaves full of air pockets that i can get for 4 bucks.
