Saving money: The easiest + only bread recipe you will every need.

Bread recipe

Making your own bread is one of the easiest things to do. With basic ingredients, a mixer, bread pan, and an oven you’re set. Like a-lot of people I have a budget for groceries and with the cost of food going up I am always looking for ways to save money. Making your own bread is definitely one way to save money on your grocery bill. And let’s be honest nothing beats the taste of fresh bread! 

Bread recipe ingredients 

  • 1 1/2 cups of warm water
  • 3 tsp of sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 3 tbsp of butter
  • 4 cups of flour
  • 2 tsp yeast (I use Fleischmann’s Quick Rise)
  • Bread pans (we bought ours at Ikea)

Bread

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients together and mix with dough hook
  2. Add mix in’s (see some ideas below)
  3. Cover and let rise for one hour
  4. Pull out and divide in two
  5. Form and put in pans
  6. Proof one hour at 100°F
  7. Take out of the oven and heat oven to 375°F
  8. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 min
  9. When finished take out of the oven and pan, let cool.

We buy bread bags from the Wholesale Club so when we make bread we make a few loaves at a time and freeze them for when we need them.

Mix ins

[col1]
Raisin Bread
1 cup raisins

1 1/2 tablespoons
[/col1][col2]
Rosemary & Olive 
1 tablespoon rosemary
3/4 cups of sliced olives (pitted)
[/col2][col3]
Pesto Bread
4 tables spoons of Pesto
[/col3]

We haven’t bought bread for over 6 months. As a family of 5 and as someone who watches kids during the week we go through at least 6 loafs of bread a week. Looking at it in dollar amounts, if we were to buy the cheapest bread available we would still save $10/week equaling out to roughly $250 in the last 6 months.

That’s a-lot of dough – literally and figuratively.

    To save time I make multiple dry mix batches in separate containers. Then when I want to make a batch I only have to add liquid and mix.

    Do you have to prep your bread pan with anything?

The Granville @bambinigroup Centre is now open! O The Granville @bambinigroup Centre is now open! One of my favourite features when you walk into the centre is the open piazza which is filled with greenery and lights that can mimic the sky outside. Not only is this a great space for children to enjoy throughout their day, but also one that was created with community in mind. From parents group to well-being classes and more @bambinigroup wants to bring families together. #AD #yeg #yegkids #yeggers #yegfamily #yegmoms #yegre #edmontonmoms #edmonton #edmontonfamily #edmontonkids #bambini #reggioinspired #childcare #family #yegblogger
