Hobbies don't need to conform to the normal standards for doing things. They cost you both time and money, and aren't necessarily economical, but you do them because you enjoy them.

How the fuck does it cost you more than buying it? Are we talking about similar quality breads here or are you making fancy ass bread and comparing it to the cheapest nastiest shit in the supermarket?

I wouldn't feel bad about it, it tastes better than store bought and who the fuck doesn't love the smell of bread made from scratch? Enjoy yourself, mother fucker.

Well you're getting more out of the experience than just bread right? You're getting the enjoyment and happiness that comes with it. You're not just making bread you're MAKING FUCKING BREAD!

There's nothing wrong with spending a little bit on stuff that makes you happy! Enjoy yourself, don't be so critical and make some fucking bread.

When I make bread it costs me a little less than storebought bread but it lasts way longer and it's dense as fuck, meaning I get more of it. Plus it tastes 10 million times better, you can't weigh this against money.

Making bread may cost more, but when you buy ingredients you're not just paying for a loaf of bread, you're paying for a loaf of bread and hours of enjoyment.

It would only cost more if you're only using a small portion of the ingredients. If you're somehow absorbing the entire cost of a sack of flour/sugar into a single loaf, then yeah your math won't add up.

>making it costs more than buying it

How is that even possible.

I feel awful about my financial decisions and hobbies constantly. Trust me, you making bread is a lot better of a choice than what other people are spending their money on.

>factory making millions of loaves of bread every day with CEO's cutting corners where they can
>anon making 1-2 loaves for himself

tahe a guess at what is most cost effective per loaf

Yea but they also need to profit, and the middle-man (supermarket) needs to profit also.

Like I could prolly make a loaf of bread for:
30c flour
1-4c each yeast, sugar, salt
10c of gas
whereas the cheapest nastiest shit bread here is like $2 a loaf.

Obviously their production price on the $2 loaf is going to be lower than mine, but production price != sale price.

BRO. Life is about doing what you enjoy, otherwise why would you even live? If you enjoy making bread, do it.

Seriously, why the hell do people live if they don't like living? That's complete waste of time and space. The greatest feeling is when you DROP everything you "should do and should be" and instead do what actually makes you happy. If your or others' life doesn't depend on something then you don't need to do it unless you like it.

Hey this is a stupid question but, how do you make bread? Op post your tips

>>17714917

put in oven for 30 min

>production price != sale price.

Only if you own a bread factory.

Do you own a bread factory? No? Then for you production price<store price.

>>17713231
somehow your price for flour yeast, sugar salt, etc doesn't include the profit from the middleman though? You sound like you live somewhere cheaper than I, but I doubt those are realistic prices.

>>17712467
You have a knead to make bread.
