I make three big loaves of challah with 2 packs of yeast. Best french toast in the world.
Anyway to the OP - that's what the yeast is for. For making bread and similar bread-type items. At one point, you couldn't find bread in any supermarket - people were actually snapping them up first thing in the morning and the shelves were empty within the first hour.
If anyone wants my challah recipe I can post it or DM you with it. Definitely a labor of love; it takes several hours, and you do it 100% by hand (literally). No mixer, no breadmaking machine. A bowl, a wooden spoon, and your hands.
