I mean, I've always thought white sugar was optional in bread.
I prefer to make a whole wheat bread and I use honey instead of sugar.

likely, just that we just buy bread so it's always sugar in it

I highly recommend a bread maker, if you have the room for one.
I dunno about anywhere else, but in the US, they're in thrift stores and flea markets everywhere, no one wants them so they're super cheap.
But you just put the ingredients in (in the order the recipe says), and hit a button. That's it. It will bloom the yeast, mix the dough, wait for it to rise, knead it, rise it again, and bake it all in one.
I often throw my ingredients in the maker before I go to bed and have bread in the morning.

We're too lazy for that and we already have so many kitchen machines of different types in the family there are no spaces left. If I first make bread I'll do it with my bare hands haha (I made baguettes the other day which was nice got some arm muscles )

Oh wow

wish those things would grow here too

What kind of things grow where you live?

stuff that survives frost or has a rather short vegetation period (like max 4 months), because it's freezing at night till late April or even May and starting again in September.

My parents bought a fancy greenhouse this year, so I hope we will be able to grow bellpeppers for the first time and maybe more than 5 tomatoes per plant haha.

Find out if there are any old timer seed savers in your area, there's surely a farmer out there that has found the hardiest varieties for your region!

as for herbs, lots of mine come back every year after the frosts - oregano, curly parsley, garlic chives, onion chives

I've heard you can make bread in a crock pot, I'd like to try that
