I will note that making your own bread at home is not hugely difficult if that’s your priority; it does take several hours per loaf, but much of that time is spent doing other things while you wait for it to rise, and if you knead the dough by hand you don’t need any expensive equipment. (The ingredients can generally be found in any grocery store, though you may need to go further afield if you’re trying to precisely replicate a grandparent’s recipe).
