Does anyone still make their own bread ?

I used to make bread all the time when my husband was alive. I make good biscuits, , varied stuff, but WHY?
No one to feed it to!
Don't eat much bread by myself.
But last winter, I bought all the stuff, bowls, the flours, everything I needed for REAL SOURDOUGH BREAD!
I got a starter goin and kept feeding it, but in the Winter, I turn off the heat at night and my kitchen was too cold to
keep it going! So disappointed! I wanted SO BAD to learn how to make the authentic Sourdough bread!
Really soft on the inside and a hard crust on the outside! I STILL WANT TO LEARN THIS!
I want to make the BEST Sourdough bread EVER! But, It would cost a fortune to keep my whole house warm all Winter
just to save my starter!
I also want to make the best Cinnamon rolls EVER!

Damn Murrmurr! No wonder she snapped you up! Are you the most perfect man ever?

Sweet rolls, crescent butter rolls, 3-seed loaf, rustic white rounds, potato bread, raisin bread, and cinnamon rolls.

I make really good biscuits, too. (not to be confused with cookies. If we're talking cookies, I make a mean shortbread...not to be confused with bread)

I come from a family that makes Armenian bread. We have a bakery here in town.....but I can't even bake cookies. lol

I do have a bread machine, but I think I forgot to spray some kind of oil in side the mold, and couldn't get the bread out. I still have the machine tho...😀

My sister has one of those. She loves it, and they work really well. She has severe rheumatoid arthritis in her hands, but she loves to make bread, so that machine helps her out a lot.

I use it for no other reason than I am too lazy to do the kneading required. I like to set it on timed delay at night and I wake up to the delicious smell of fresh baked bread in the morning. Might need to do that tonight. Yeast and bread flour are two items that were not on the grocery shelves during the Covid lockdown but I’m stocked up now.
 
I bake three loafs of coconut bread about six times a year. I grate the coconut myself. Can't stand package coconut. Don't have a bread machine so I do the kneading by hand.

Before COVID, I cruised several times per year. One of the highlights was my morning exercise on the wrap-around promenade deck. Every lap as I passed aft of the ship, the aroma from the bakery was intoxicating. It always made me walk faster since I knew breakfast was next.
