When I did the math, it comes out to a substantial saving. Not just bread, but pizza dough, too!
But, there's a nuance. If you're buying small bags of bread flour and those tiny jars of instant yeast, you're going to overspend like crazy.
Large bags of all purpose flour and big bags of active yeast are key. When I compared results using instant yeast and bread flour, nobody in my family could tell the difference ๐
Edit: clarity
When you say bread dough do you mean bread flour?
Yes! My bad. Corrected now.
Unless you're making 5 leaves a day, give makin g sourdough a shot. No more need for buying more yeast.
