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.

  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.
