Made my 50th loaf of bread today in the bread machine. Store-bought bread averages about $2.50 a loaf, so 50 loaves would be $125. Bread machine cost $100 and I figure the flour and other ingredients for those was well under $25.

Here's to 50 more loaves of fresh baked bread.

My wife works at a local bakery and the loaves are $8. This is fresh baked limited ingredient bread so much closer to what you’re making. 50 loaves of that would be $400. You are way past breaking even…

    Who tf is out here paying $8 for a loaf of bread? I have made a lot of bread in my life and can't possibly see a way to get the cost of making a single loaf (taking into account that the labor/capital required to make an individual loaf decreases dramatically as you start making more bread at once) up that high for a bakery. If I were making that shit one at a time in my house yeah it would probably cost that much but with professional equipment there's no fucking way they aren't doubling their costs on that.
