A COVID Dilemma...

1. You cannot buy a bread machine (earliest delivery I can get is June)

2. If you want to bake bread on your own, you cannot buy flour.

3. If you have flour, you cannot buy yeast.

4. If you want to try to make your own yeast you need sugar and.....flour (see 2)

A COVID Dilemma... (Original Post) brooklynite Apr 2020 OP

I was able to buy a big bag of flour from my grocery store from their bakery. None on the shelves flying_wahini Apr 2020 #1

I bought 6 loaves of frozen bread dough. GemDigger Apr 2020 #2

I think it depends on location. In the rural areas where I live the shelves are well stocked. totodeinhere Apr 2020 #3

There were a few shortages a few weeks ago but the stores in my area seem to have caught up.
