it's kinda true across the board with alot of dishes. sandwiches with homemade bread, dal with homemade naan, tacos with homemade tortillas, pie with homemade crust.
it's surreal how much making the simplest component (flour, water, salt, yeast) from scratch elevates the dish far beyond what seems possible.
I think we delude ourselves about how shelf stable flour and baked goods are, simply because they won't make you puke or diarrhea. we lose a lot of quality, satisfaction and probably nutrition for not much convenience.
