I came across this recipe for basic white bread (what the recipe called it), is a nice sandwich bread. Not to crumby and firm pain in taste. But it's easy and cheap to make. I didn't take pictures but used the dough from the other loaf to make cinnamon rolls, got ate too quickly.

Just wondering you mention easy and cheap. I am paying around $4 for a loaf of decent ingredients (nothing too great but nothing horrible) plain bread. What is the cost for making it yourself?

I pay $2 a week in flour and maybe $3 for dried fruit a week to put into home made sourdough. You can buy a 10lb. Bag of all purpose flour at all the grocery stores in town for ~ $4.

If you skip the fruit it would be about half what you’re spending, though if you want whole wheat flour that would probably double the flour cost at a minimum.

You need to factor in the electricity you used to bake and the water and cleaning agent to clean the utensils

Sure and the water/milk/olive oil too but those cost pennies per serving so I didn’t really think it was worth adding.

Gas stove: .02 Olive oil: .10 Milk: .25 Rosemary: .01 Water: .00 (we never go over the minimum so no charge for water) Soap: .005 Flour: $2 (including sourdough starter usage) Brad pan: .02 (estimated wear and tear)

Total: $2.405 which was close enough to $2 for jazz.

You also need to factor in the cost of shampoo you used to later wash your hair that night from the sweat and grime you collected while making the bread. Oh and don't forget the electricity to power your phone the next morning while you're defecating the bread you digested
