Making your own bread. I always thought it was complicated and time consuming but t's really dead simple. It's just flour, water, yeast and salt, plus I add a little sugar to get the yeast going. Only takes about 10 minutes of actual work. The rest of the time is just the dough rising and baking. So you do have to be around but you're mostly not soing anything. If you want to try it google "no knead bread" and watch one of the many videos. In doing it for a couple years I've found that kneading the dough for a minute between the two rise times makes it poof up more, Before eggs got expensive a loaf cost about $1.10 to make, now it's more like $1.50, still way better than what you buy at the store for 2-3x that.
