Ive come to the conclusion that breads are a good place to save.

The cost of baguettes, etc. In Lakewood is exorbinant, especially for a large family. How hard could these be to make myself? Even the frozen par baked are a fortune, and dont gete started on frozen pizza dough rounds.

I already make challah and pizza myself. Dont love my pizza recipe as its not very pliable.

Im assuming sliced bread is not possible--we need those thin slices. but maybe someone knows a good home slicer? [Not a meat slicer type - no way]

Id love recipes and techniques for baguettes, dinner rolls, white bread hotdog/hamburgee buns, pita.

Anyone have a good pliable pizza recipe? id love to put frozen pizza rounds in my freezer.

Any other ideas.
I saw pple mention rhodes tolls or something. Ill need to look into that.

Please indicate difficulty/patchke level. Im really looking for low patchke. I work ladies and have a lot of tummies to fill!

Thanks!

Rhodes rolls are easy. My kids have it for breakfast. You just need to defrost.

Before we go to sleep we put them out covered. (We spray with pan top and bottom so shouldn’t stick to cover.)
And in morning stick in oven and you have fresh breakfast rolls.

I used to make laffas a lot. Now I'm pregnant so too hard, bought a bread machine for less than 75 and been making bread for supper once a week instead. Bread is a good side for any meat or chicken that can be put in a sandwich.

My laffa recipe:
4 cups flour

1 tbsp baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1.5 cups cold water
oil for cooking

Mix first three ingredients. Mix remaining ingredients with a spoon, then turn onto a clean surface and knead until it comes together, about two minutes. Cover with a towel and let it rest at least ten minutes. Divide into balls and dust with flour. Roll each ball flat and thin and cook with a little oil in a hot pan. Bubbles will form if the pan is hot enough, though its fine if not, flip when there are brown or gold marks on the surface. You will probably need to open a window, it gets smokey. Leave leftovers in a Ziploc for lunch the next day.

Pizza dough in a lump is inexpensive.

Rhodes rolls are really affordable and you can make into rolls, pull apart bread, I've even flattened into pizza dough (just poke holes with a fork so it doesn't bubble and rise too much)

I make double pizza dough for Thursday night supper (either sourdough and regular)
I then leave the extra balls wrapped in plastic in the fridge over Shabbos and motzei Shabbos we make pizza. With fun toppings.

Sometimes waffles.

If I have time I like to put up an onion soup Thursday for motzei Shabbos.

As a previous poster said laffa are easy to make. I like the recipe in fresh and easy cookbook.

Corn tortillas can also be cheap. I buy ready made and heat and use for supper in tortillas.

if you are planning to make bread/ doughs often it is kdai to buy a food scale because I read once that you can't really measure flour in bread recipes by cups as it won't be consistent. if you measure by weight you will always get the same consistent results

These all.sound great. Keep ideas coming.

But I will not be cutting out the breads from the supermarket bread section that my kids like ( at this point).

Does anyone make them themselves? Baguettes? Club bread? Pita? Fluffy buns?

Thank you!!!!

I think crockpot bread is probably similar to club bread.

2 1/4 tsp dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tsp salt
3 cups flour
challah topping (opt)

Stir the first 3 ingredients together. Add flour and mix well. Place in parchment lined crockpot, add topping, and keep on keep warm for 1 hour. Bake on high 1-2 hours.

Fluffy stuff is probably yeasted and takes a nice amount of time.

I’ve done pita bread. It comes out great. You bake in oven. Whole lava you cook on a frying or grill pan on the stove top.
For both the most time consuming part is rolling the dough.
