All you need is flower, yeast, salt, water and an oven...
Actually, you can get away with no yeast if you start up a sour dough starter. All you need is water and flour.
Mix a cup of flour with a coup of warm water (luke warm) in a container, and let it sit out on the counter for a few days adding another 1/2 cup of
flour and water each day at first.. Wild yeast should get going in it (it will start to foam).
Some places don't have a lot of wild yeast (arid places), which is okay, you can just add a couple of teaspoons of yeast to that cup of water and
flour.
Once it get's going you can put it in the fridge and it will keep forever (yeast is hard to kill). Just remember to "feed" it once a week by taking
out 1/2 cup of the starter, and adding 1/2 a cup of flour and water.
When you want to make bread, you just pull some out and let it warm up (takes a couple of hours), and make a dough out of it and the bread will
rise.
There are lots of recipies on this. Just Google it.
