Cost of flour
I'm frugal. I've watched the cost of flour go up 50% in less than a year. I'm now paying 30ยข a pound (50 lb bag of enriched bleached bread flour from Costco $14.99)
Todays Sourdough Bread: Basic unmeasured baking. 14 hour first rise. Baked in cast iron dutch oven 500 degrees 30 min covered. 8 minute 450 degrees uncovered. My wife said she didn't want big wholes, but she wanted holes. I live to serve. I do love her so.
I was just wondering how much other people were paying for flour.
I also was wondering if everyone buys yeast in 1 or 2 pound packs or if anyone buys those little packets.
