So I am on MSN online and they show photos of a store in NY WOW! The place was empty. A reason I have my stash! Bread was wiped out, gee you can go home and make some bread not hard but I guess people can't do that anymore. You could bake 6 loaves of bread in an evening.

And they call preppers crazy! NOT!

Of all my friends, I am basically the only scratch cooker. No microwave meals for me, haven't had one in almost a year now. I have never tried making bread, but I have made cinnamon roles, cakes, things like that. I think cinnamon rolls might be the closes I have got to bread so far. Maybe I should make some soon. I don't really like bread though, tbh.

I think it's like that anywhere. I used to live in Norfolk/Virginia Beach area, every time there was a hurricane warning the stores would look just like those pictures. Then I lived in Atlanta and a hurricane hit Florida by the time it came through Atlanta it was a tropical storm, we lost electricity for 3 days, so the stores could not get any inventory in cause they couldn't receive it, they could sell using calculators/cash, the shelves looked like that also. And that is why I prep.

Baking bread is simple, yes, but it is also hard work and time consuming.  I have a breadmaker and yet I still keep huge numbers of crackers in case the bread runs out.  Roti/chapatis are easy to make though and you can (contrary to popular opinion) use any flour: white, brown, mixed grain or wholemeal, plain or self raising - whatever you have.  Just make a dough with the flour and water, roll out and pan fry with as little oil as possible.  You can flavour the dough too: mix in a packet of consome mix or a well ground stock cube before adding the water.

I almost exclusively use dried milk, I prefer it.  

Milk comes out of a cow at 101 degrees. That should prevent lumps if Techno is right about too cold or too hot.
