You mention preferring no-knead bread because it calls for less yeast, but if you did the math on yeast I bet the difference is like a penny. Standard white bread is going to cost pretty much the same despite variations in recipes, and the main expense there is the ingredient you use in the largest volume: flour.

When flour is on sale, buy some and keep it in the freezer if necessary. posted by jessicapierce at PM on July 10, Best answer: You can buy bulk yeast, and I suspect many other dry ingredients, online.

I found the yeast I prefer sold by the pound through a retailer whose name rhymes with "Shamazon. posted by itstheclamsname at PM on July 10, Jam on biscuits, fruit or a small amount of chocolate atop cake, etc.

Angel food cake is absurdly cheap and easier to make than most people suspect you do NOT need the special pan! And it's impressive as hell. Response by poster: Will definitely look at buying yeast online.

This is the kind of thing that makes me feel like I can't afford to bake. I did start making my own vanilla extract last year, and it's been fantastic - MUCH cheaper, very easy, and identical to the store-bought kind.

Best answer: I'm always storing away stuff in the freezer to keep it from spoiling beyond the point where it can be used: sour milk, overripe bananas, bread crusts, lemon and orange rind and juice, mashed potatoes, etc.

When it comes to deciding what to bake, the first thing I do is nose through my freezer and fridge and the vegetable and fruit crispers and see what I have that should be used up, and then I figure out what I can make from that.

I have a number of standby mashed potato recipes bannock bread , mashed potato cookies , potato donuts , for instance. if I don't have a recipe on hand I look on the net for a nice simple one that just calls for things I have, and like a previous poster I skip some of the more expensive ingredients such as nuts.

It seems like a nice cost-efficient way to bake to me. You'll have to buy stuff, of course, and other people are making good recommendations on what and how to buy baking ingredients on a budget, but very often you'll just be figuring out what to do with what you have.

posted by orange swan at PM on July 10, Make a sourdough starter, and use that instead of yeast. posted by Ideefixe at PM on July 10, Best answer: This tip is useless for saving money unless you similarly find yourself throwing away spoiled dairy from time to time, but if you ever buy yogurt or sour cream for other purposes that you know you won't finish off, then you should use it for baking.

Until I started doing this, I hated to even buy sour cream for taco night because I knew that half of it would get thrown away.

posted by gatorae at PM on July 10, Best answer: Ooh, yeah, try not to buy the yeast in envelopes if possible, it's ridiculously more expensive than even a small jar. Sometimes grocery stores will stock them in slightly different places envelopes at eye level near the bread, jars on top or bottom shelf - and if you don't see what you need, you can ask most grocery store managers to get it in stock.

Seconding gatorae's comment about freezing dairy products. I am not much of a milk drinker, so I buy powdered milk and keep it in the freezer.

It will keep for ages at room temp but does eventually go very, very bad. It's gross on its own but in baked goods you would never know it's been reconstituted. posted by jessicapierce at PM on July 10, [ 1 favorite ].

and reduced sugar without sacrificing moistness or sweetness posted by missmagenta at PM on July 10, Best answer: My local farmer's market sells pound bags of yeast that I can vouch for being awesome over a year after opening it kept in fridge.

Also, Dorie Greenspan's buttermilk biscuits are my goto biscuit recipe: they's fine with fake buttermilk, work as rolled-out or drop biscuits, and can be baked from a frozen raw state. And they taste good. Best answer: I follow a blog called The Frugal Girl.

Her other big tip is to wait for flour to go on sale, then buy tons of it. Usually it goes on sale right before Thanksgiving and Christmas for the holiday baking season.

posted by CathyG at PM on July 10, [ 1 favorite ]. From Ms. posted by a robot made out of meat at PM on July 10, In my experience, generics of "non-flavored" staples like flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, etc.

King Arthur flour is kind of amazing and does yield a slightly more tender crumb in cakes and cookies, but the difference is usually not worth the extra price, for me. Best answer: This granola bar recipe is killer and responds well to a lot of various adaptations.

And her numbers are a bit off - there's no way the recipe can support cups of add-ins it can take 1. I find that when I make these with chocolate, a miracle occurs; using not even half a cup of chocolate chips yields a deceptively rich, chocolatey result.

Mix this up separately in a little bowl until it's foamy, then add to your recipe. You can double, triple, quadruple it with no problems. I've used this in cookies, muffins, carrot cake, and quickbreads. It won't work for anything that really needs you to use eggs like angel food cake but it works just fine otherwise.

Depending on what you use as a flavouring, this basic muffin recipe could be pretty cheap. I've made them with apples and cinnamon, also coffee is a very cheap favour.

My mum makes scones for fundraisers, which are pretty cheap, though you do have to be careful about the cost of the jam and cream. posted by kjs4 at PM on July 10, Have a look in thrift stores for old cookbooks.

Anything from from the UK is likely to have recipes that avoid butter, eggs, milk, etc, because of rationing. I have a few recipes from an old cookbook of my mother's for "eggless cakes" or "butter subsitutes" or "mock cream" etc. After all, successful bake sales are just as much about packaging and promotion as they are the treats you're proffering.

Baking is a craft that is accessible to anyone—that is, anyone with the money to stock a kitchen with fancy chocolate, grass-fed butter, and a gleaming stand mixer. Am I right? Not exactly. Baking does require an oven, of course, but beyond that, a lot of baking can be achieved with only a small pantry of ingredients and a few tools.

I learned the art of baking on a budget at a very young age. It was the intrigue of working with so few ingredients—and creating something entirely new with them—that made baking such a magical experience for me.

I come from a long line of Southern bakers making the most of what we had on hand in the cupboard. In my family, as long as we had flour, butter, sugar and eggs on hand, we were always baking.

My love of baking grew, and when other girls used their babysitting money to buy makeup, I spent my hard-earned cash on chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla. I baked cookies and small cakes for friends and family—all with the money I earned myself.

The first step to affordable baking is to recognize where the expenses are. Initially, those expenses will be equipment-related. But while the costs of equipment can add up, you can start with just a few pieces and build your arsenal slowly as your love of baking grows.

In other words, you do not have to run out and buy that stand mixer to get started. Hand mixers are much less pricey, and they're all you need for creaming butter for cookies or making meringues and mixing cake batters. And in fact, you can make many recipes—like muffins , bars , and cakes with melted butter or oil —right in a large mixing bowl with nothing more than a wooden spoon or spatula.

You will need to purchase measuring spoons , measuring cups , a whisk , a sturdy heatproof rubber spatula or spoon, and a large mixing bowl. Look for them—as well as professional grade mixing bowls and sheet pans—at a restaurant supply store or even yard sales and thrift stores. Almost everything you see here can be bought on sale and frozen until you need it.

But not the scale. Ingredients are the other big baking expense. Just like with equipment, I recommend you start small with a basic pantry and stock it with new items when you can.

And just like with Dutch ovens and Vitamix blenders , always keep your eye out for a sale.

Almost everything you see here can be bought on sale and frozen until you need it. But not the scale. Ingredients are the other big baking expense. Just like with equipment, I recommend you start small with a basic pantry and stock it with new items when you can.

And just like with Dutch ovens and Vitamix blenders , always keep your eye out for a sale. See a great deal on butter? Stock up and freeze it. Same goes for other premium items, such as nuts and fresh fruit. That said, it pays to know when to go for the name brands.

For many basic ingredients like granulated sugar, brown sugar, confectioners' sugar, and condensed milk, store brands are great. But when it comes to butter, chocolate, spices, and extracts? Items like nuts and chocolate are always going to be a splurge. And every now and then the splurge will be worth it.

But there are ways to stretch premium ingredients. You can make delicious brownies and cakes with cocoa powder and sprinkle just a little chocolate on top. Try it on cookies , brownies , or even on this pear tart. For more big but affordable flavor, infuse milk for pastry creams and baked puddings with fresh herbs, tea, and citrus peels.

Also, brown butter is hard to beat for adding a nutty depth of flavor to cookies, bars and cakes. The recipes you attempt will have a big impact on how much money you spend on your baking. Where should you start? With cookies.

Sugar cookies have short, simple ingredient lists, are so fun to make, and the add-in options are endless: choose sprinkles, lavender, spices, citrus zests, or whatever your budget allows.

Likewise, meringue cookies made with leftover egg whites are a true gift for the thrifty baker. You can tint them with food coloring in delightful pastel colors, or embellish them with a small amount of freeze-dried fruit.

Bar cookies like blondies , lemon bars , and brownies made with cocoa! are the next stop on the Budget Baking Bus. After that: cakes, but no layers cakes with their pricey buttercream frostings and ganaches.

Instead, go for coffee cakes and muffins topped with a brown sugar streusel you can leave out the nuts. Pound cakes , bundt cakes , and snack cakes are also great recipe choices, because they, too, usually eschew frostings and fillings, and they can be flavored with whatever affordable ingredients you have on hand: citrus zest, berry glazes, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar.

And those, of course, are the riches that matter. Cheryl Day is the author of several baking books and the owner of Back In The Day Bakery in Savannah, GA. Kendra Vaculin.
