    This is a re-construction of a relpy to your post to me. In the confusion
    of freeing up Fido's bowels the original somehow got lost in the shuffle.

    First off - Welcome Home, Chief. It's been a while.

    I do make bread - but, unlike you I don't make *all* of my bread. Just
    the specialty stuff like hamburger/hotdog buns and the mundane stuff
    like sandwich bread, etc. I usually buy ALDI's L'Oven breads as they
    have a better shelf life than Wonder Bread or Butternut. And I don't
    really eat that much bread. Bv)=

    The only bread crumbs I buy are Panko. I always have enough bread or
    crackers on hand to my my own crumby stuff. Bv)=

    I also make biscuits ... mostly using this recipe I happened across
    recently:

    Title: 2-Ingredient Cream Biscuits
    Categories: Five, Breads, Dairy
    Yield: 15 biscuits

    10 oz Self-rising flour
    2 tb Sugar; opt if making sweet
    - shortcake-style biscuits
    1/4 c Heavy cream; more to brush
    - on

    Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to
    450ºF/232ºC. Place flour in a large bowl. If making
    sweet biscuits, whisk in sugar. Stirring with a wooden
    spoon, drizzle in cream. Stir until a lumpy dough is
    formed. Do not over mix.

    FOR DROP BISCUITS: Using a 1 oz cookie scoop, scoop
    balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet,
    spacing them 2" apart. Brush tops with cream and bake
    until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly
    and serve.

    Using an ice cream scoop to scoop biscuit dough onto a
    baking sheet.

    FOR FLAKY ROLLED BISCUITS: With a rolling pin, roll the
    dough into a 12" square. Using a bench scraper, fold the
    right third of the dough over the center, then fold the
    left third over so you end up with a 12" X 4" rectangle.
    Fold the top third down over the center, then fold he
    bottom third up so the whole thing is reduced to a 4"
    square. Press the square down and roll it out again into
    a 12" square. Repeat the folding process once more, then
    roll the dough again into a 12" square. Use a 3" to 4"
    biscuit cutter to cut out rounds and transfer to a
    parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2" apart. Press
    together scraps to form additional biscuits. Brush tops
    with cream and bake until golden brown, about 12
    minutes. Let cool slightly and serve.
