In the UK flour and yeast disappeared from the shelves for quite a while during the first lockdown baking boom.

The issue wasn't a shortage, but a shortage of flour in small bags.

Interestingly I saw some supermarkets fill up bags they usually use for bakery items to just sell the flour which seemed like a smart solution!

Also in March/April last year hand soap and toilet roll was hard to come by.
