butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

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.

Add 1 tablespoon of yeast to a bowl.

Pour in 2 cups of warm evaporated milk.

Add 1/4 cup of honey to the bowl.

Whisk together the yeast, milk, and honey until mixed.

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to proof until foamy.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the mixture.

Gradually add 3 to 4 cups of all-purpose flour or bread flour, starting with 3 1/2 cups.

Mix on low to medium speed until the dough pulls away from the bowl.

Cover the bowl with a damp, warm towel and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Punch down the risen dough and place it on a floured surface.

Divide the dough into two equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a rectangular shape and roll it tightly into a loaf.

Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan.

Cover the loaf pan and let it rise for another 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 325°F - 350°F.

Bake the bread for about 25 minutes until the top is brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
