After making my "Poor Boys Cornbread" I thought, why not try a basic bread? Like my cornbread recipe, this is not going to be the tastiest bread you have ever eaten. It will be the most basic bread recipe you can find, requiring the least and most basic ingredients.

Note: Makes a decent biscuit substitute in sausage gravy.

When the place I worked closed, I decided to make some cut backs. I had never really cooked before. Most of my meals had been either frozen or canned, heated in the microwave. I also ate out several times a week.Having a little money saved and being close to retirement age, I decided to semi retire and start living more frugally. I quickly learned that dried beans, pasta, rice, potatoes, flour, and a lot of really good foods are so much cheaper and better than their canned and frozen counterparts.Being single, I rarely buy milk, because it goes bad before I can drink it. I do buy eggs, but rarely find a need for them in my recipes. I want to keep my recipes as simple and basic as possible. I am sure there are plenty of 20 ingredient recipes that most likely taste better than mine. My goal is to keep things simple, inexpensive and yummy.My recipes often evolve when I stumble upon an improvement or tweak to the old recipe. I will update my recipes anytime I improve them. If you find an improvement let me know. Maybe I will decide to use it. As I discover new recipes I will add them here. I hope I can help others to be able to make good food on a tight budget with my easy and basic recipes.Thanks for your interest in my recipes! I wish you the best in all you do!
