YEAST out of stock?How many of you are suddenly breadmaking

Not bread but i use yeast for other things, like cinnamon rolls. I also know a lot of friends who can bake but rarely bake are doing so now because their kids are at home.

I have yeast but I cannot find flour anywhere. I’ve been looking since the beginning of all this and haven’t found a bag yet.

I think quite a few are. Last time we went to the store there was a limit on bread. We figured since DH loves to make it then we could let the others have the store bought.

But I've seen a lot of posts/articles on artisan bread the last couple of weeks so I am guessing people are making it.

Our problem was stores are also out of flour. We were ok because we have a lot of wheat, but sometimes it is nice to have a mix of white and wheat.

A lot of people who can bake are baking for friends/family and even selling locally.

My dh was watching this virus since January and in the middle of February he ordered about 20-25 bags of bread for our bread machine... hasn't been used in years. We haven't had issues finding bread. He doesn't really eat break so he expected something much worse from the stores.

We dont eat much bread regularly so in not going to run to the store for it now so I've been making it at home. I've been making bread and buns for us and some of DHs coworkers. I carb my stress away.

Yes, I've been baking a lot more (not just bread), and I use yeast. Going to make some yeast rolls this weekend. But flour is getting really hard to find. DH has looked for it the last 2 times he's been to the store and they were out both times.

ETA: I already had plenty of yeast, since I usually keep some on hand. I'll be making my traditional Italian Easter bread in about a week too (assuming I still have flour).

I’ve had trouble finding active dry yeast. We did get a few small envelopes at a local grocery store, but I hate that I can’t find any bigger bags of Saf Instant Yeast.
I like to do rustic loaves and my DD makes donuts.

I have yeast, but I usually do. I use it for runsa and pizza crust in a fairly regular basis. I am totally going to make cinnamon rolls after seeing StephDRebel ‘s post

Flour and yeast are both hard to find.

Me... I haven’t baked in a while but I’m starting to now.

I have a couple friends who are on the lookout for flour and yeast for each other.

Earlier today - King Arthur had yeast in stock.

Check out your local bakeries. I bought yeast and flour from a local bakery today. Much cheaper than having it shipped and they will bring it outside to your car.

Yeast is almost impossible to find here too. Flour - I can get bread flour, but regular is harder to find. I don't usually bake, and bread seems to be in fairly good supply both in the supermarket and the bakeries. But - each year at Easter I make Hot Cross Buns, as they are not something I can buy here, and I just want one pack of yeast to do one batch, but no go. I think we've tried 4 supermarkets now. People have suggested sourdough to me, but as I only want to do the one batch, and feeding a starter takes a lot of flour, it seems a waste.

I ordered yeast from Sam's. I had a couple of strips at home, but now that my culinary student needs to do her baking labs at home, we knew that probably wasn't enough. I couldn't find it anywhere around here, and Amazon was no help. I decided to check Sam's, and lo and behold, they had a package of 2 one-pound bags for $4.98 with free shipping. However, you couldn't just order one--the minimum order for that item was 2! I didn't need 2! I ordered anyway since that was the only way I could get it. What in the world am I going to do with 4 pounds of yeast? My mom will take one package when I see her again, and I have offered up the other two packages to a couple of co-workers and will leave it on the porch for them if they want to pick it up. It was a great deal--$2.50 for a pound of yeast beats the cost of buying the little strips.

My bread machine is going to be busy!

Ya, flour and yeast have been off the shelves for weeks here. A lady was crying in the baking aisle last time I went to the store. She was on her phone talking to someone saying her high school daughter needed both for her home economics class online. I felt so bad for her. I was just picking up a box of chocolate pudding and a free pre made graham cracker crust I won in the monopoly game. That’s as adventurous as I’ve gotten in the dessert game as I’m trying to actually lose weight during this mess lol
