One of the first and arguably most rewarding green changes we made was making our own bread. Unless you are buying artisan bread on a regular basis, your average store bought bread probably leaves something to be desired. 

Making your own bread can be as simple or as involved as you would like it to be and 
we started making our own bread using an Amish White Bread recipe that we found online here.  The only change I made was to cut the amount of sugar and yeast in half. Otherwise the loaves exploded over the edges of the loaf pan.
