I made some baguettes and they were good but the effort was too high for me to want to use the whole bags in that way, plus they kind of weren’t very filling for how calorie dense they were.

I kindly request your best simple loaf of bread recipe.

      Sourdough takes like two weeks to get a starter going, then you have to keep feeding it to keep it alive (like once a week in the fridge). But then you can use that to make good, bakery-quality bread for years. Its a deep rabbit-hole but very worth it in terms of how cheap it is in the long-run, and quality.

          Noice. Youtube has great guides for getting a sourdough starter going, and then good recipes by professional bakers once you have that. You start with a basic recipe, then hone to your liking after doing it for months, then start to get into fancy additions and such. But having fresh bakery-quality bread is totally worth the effort.
