Just in terms of power efficiency, I doubt baking your own bread is a win (I earned my spending money in high school baking bread from scratch). It takes maybe fifteen minutes (aside from waiting) to make bread dough and shape it into loaves when you're experienced, so time isn't such a big factor.

Making your own bread can be much tastier than store bought loaves. Especially if you catch your own sourdough, and the alternative is buying British bread.

  I'm certainly not against baking your own bread, I just doubt it's beneficial to the environment. A good naighborhood bakery is probably an all round win.

    Environmentally, baking your own bread might still beat eating meat. And if the energy to heat your oven comes from a clean source, you are good.

      But it would still be more efficient to bake more bread at once using clean energy.
