I ordered a replacement toothbrush and a dutch oven to bake my own bread. Not really essentials but I feel like they are serving the purpose of health and isolation.

Once you get your Dutch oven, I highly recommend this recipe: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/no-knead-crusty-whit...

I’ve made it twice since the CA quarantine began and have been keeping dough in the fridge so my family can have fresh bread every day.

You can even start with the dutch oven cold, which makes it much easier! https://www.kingarthurflour.com/blog/2017/07/05/baking-in-a-...

Been struggling to find any AP flour in the suburbs of Portland unfortunately.

I just got a Dutch oven for the same reason, too! I get the feeling that the world supply of domestic bakers will increase dramatically in the coming months. A lot of grocery stores nearby us are out of sandwich bread, but full of flour. Wonder how long that will last!

I’ve been able to buy flour but no active yeasts!

Have you tried home brewing supply shops? I've found that winemaking yeast works for baking.

That just means you get to skip straight to using a levain! :)

I still have a breadmachine left over from when they were a fad. I need to find the manual for it :-)

Yeast, which you won't have if you haven't been making bread, doesn't even show up on Amazon at the moment (and normally it's Just There. Even got one via Amazon Fresh before the apocalypse started scaling). Also, bread flour is best but not absolutely needed. Lastly, if the bread the machine makes just doesn't tickle your fancy, they still are a great way to make pizza dough.

You can usually find the manual online very easily, just search the model number.
