I just made my first large order of grain and accessories from BB.
The bill for materials and shipping to TN was $420
I will have about 210 pounds of dry material.
A two pound loaf has just over one pound of liquids and some will go off as steam.
So I guess there will be about one pound of flour mix per loaf.
Doing the math:  $420 / 210# = $2 per loaf.
Of course a one pound loaf would be $1 per loaf.
The reason I posted this is I saw somewhere a 25 cents per loaf number?
Maybe in the 1950's but not today!  Or they were wee little loafs.
A two pound nutritious loaf for $2 is OK with me.
