Last week I was in a hurry to get my regular brioche prep out of the way so I could get on with my other loaves, and forgot to put the sugar in. There isn't much in there, but boy does it make a difference!

Buying ingredients in small quantities can be expensive.  For instance caraway seeds sell locally for almost $4 for 1.75 ounces.  I was going through a couple of those a month and decided to shop around on the internet.  I found a much less expensive source at about $10/pound + shipping.  When I bought some other items at the same time my shipping cost for the caraway seeds came in at $2.50.  My total cost was approximately 78 cents/ounce.  The local cost was $2.29/ounce, and then I had to factor in driving, time, etc....

It probably crossed your mind the minute you heard it.  Concern.  Those of you with connections, what have you found out?
