    It’s likely cheaper and better when store bought because you’re trying to replicate the kind of bread that’s easily mass produced and greatly benefits from economy of scale. Lean doughs are so much less work, and they’re both cheaper and tastier when homemade. I’d even go as far as to say it’s less work than going to the grocery store to pick up a loaf.

      Eh I’ve done all kinds and sure some are more basic and therefore easier and quicker than others but not by enough to matter in this case. You’re right that it’s all about the economy of scale issue, and they can duplicate success better than I can and I’ve been doing it for years.
