Haha, the Stigler diet leaves out a couple of important items. Salt and yeast turn flour into bread, which is damn tasty. They're cheap, but not free, and should have been accounted for.

If you have a sourdough starter, then you don’t need to pay for yeast (though in my experience, I always end up pouring off excess starter, ie wasting flour).

It doesn't even need to be sourdough: you can make a starter for regular bread, too!

I mention this because I'm not typically a fan of the sourdough style, but I am a fan of starter-leavened bread.

Me too. Someday I hope to have a kitchen, life, and workflow that allows me to bake sourdough every week, but I'm not there yet.
