How much can they really charge that makes it worth spending ten minutes kneading, ten minutes washing your hands and the next two days pulling out arm hairs with caked on dough? That's my experience with bread making anyway.
No matter what bread I buy, bread isn't a major part of my weekly budget.
- marcosdumay 11y agoI've found that a 2 minutes preparation for a bread machine and a 3 minute cleaning is much cheaper than a 15 minutes walk into a bakery. But then, I just reduce the number of walkings by buying lots of breads every time I go there, and freezing them afterwards. Still less time consuming than using the machine - but the bread tastes worse.
- stevesearer 11y agoHere's a very simple, no-knead bread recipe that I've enjoyed baking several times. Some people enjoy the kneading process, but if you just want some bread, it is worth making: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11376-no-knead-bread http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11376-no-knead-bread
- HelloMcFly 11y agoI have a stand mixer with a dough hook. I've done no hand-kneading and no additional hand-washing with any of my bread baking, and I make about 1.5 loaves per week. Outside of rising and baking time, making a standard loaf takes me all of six minutes.
