Bread is a life saver. If you don't have time to cook just eat some bread. Healthy (depends on the kind of bread) and you don't have to worry about beeing hungry an hour later.
And honestly, you can make a lot of really good bread quite quickly. Leaving out proofing for a bit, it's less than watching an episode of a show. Bread it also easy enough that you can totally watch a show while making it, and not worry about chopping off your fingers lol
