> bread ingreadient is cheap but the equipment that you need to do baking is not

It's actually not too bad, if look at the capital cost of a bread factory amortised over each loaf of bread.

The equipment is comparatively more expensive for a home baker who only bakes perhaps two loafs a week.

A comment in adjacent thread above mentioned paying $21 per-loaf! That could pay for the equipment needed to bake a couple loaves a week. You really don't need much besides a normal oven.
