Does anyone here make their own bread? If so, how much do you

Nothing if you count time, effort, ingredients and the cost of running a hot stove for several hours.

This. Saving money usualuly isn't a selling point of homebaking.

If you're eating enough bread where you have to consider making it at home to save money then you probably have bigger problems than 50 cents

Once you get the routine down and become efficient there's very little active work involved, and time-wise it's mostly waiting while doing something else. Actual baking time can also be kept under an hour.

OP get yourself a bag of flour, it's about 2000 calories worth for a dollar. If yeast is too pricey, grow your own (google: sourdough starter)

I do.
As for how much I save, it depends. A proper sourdough saves me quite a lot as making my own costs me about 40c US per loaf v buying it, which is $5 per loaf. For soft, Ameribread, such as the ones in >>9241833, making one costs me about 47c v buying one from Aldi at 83c. I'm not gonna bake my own bread just to save 36c, so I buy that rather than bake.

>time
Most of the time, you're not doing anything. The dough is either rising or baking and you're not involved in either of those. I watch TV or something while the dough rises/bakes.

>effort
Takes all of 10 minutes to mix the ingredients and knead the dough plus another 5 to work it after the first rise.

>hot stove for hours
35 minutes bake time plus 15 minutes preheat is hours to you? wut

Depends on what you buy and what you bake.
