butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining moisture.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used for a lighter texture.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

yeast

💰Cheaper: sourdough starter

Sourdough starter can be made at home, saving on store-bought yeast.

Combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of milk in a bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the liquid mixture.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of instant yeast to the mixture.

Add 3 cups of flour gradually, mixing well.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of barley malt powder to the mixture.

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to absorb the water.

Check the consistency of the dough and add more flour if needed.

Knead the dough or perform a series of stretch and folds for about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it proof until well risen, about 8 hours.

Shape the dough into a log and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Cover and let rise for about 1 hour before baking.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Bake the bread for about 40 minutes, tenting with foil after 15 minutes to prevent over-browning.

Check the internal temperature; it should reach 200°F (93°C) to be done.

Let the bread cool for about an hour before slicing.
