Hoarding and baking bread

[terracore]

When Long's had a sale on all purpose flour a few weeks ago we bought 10 bags (50 pounds) and probably looked like hoarders, but that is the normal amount that we purchase. We bake and barter bread with other farmers and friends and have for years. I usually get 50 pounds bags from Costco but the sale was good and Costco is a 200 mile round trip. We buy the 2 pound bread yeast packages from Costco and one lasts us a few years. But if one has flour and no yeast they can bake bread by going online and learning how to do a sourdough starter. It takes 7 days before one can turn out their first loaf but in the "olde daze" people didn't use commercial yeast to bake bread, it's just a convenience.

I don't know if its easier to find but champagne yeast makes good bread. But bread yeast makes horrible champagne.

If somebody on Punaweb NEEDS yeast but can't find any I will send them some.
