It's always nice to be able to bake a batch of brownies when the weather turns rainy. Or bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies when your kid's feeling yucky.
On a side note, always have some no-knead bread in the fridge - great for last minute pizza, breadsticks, or to make another loaf of bread when their friends want pblj sandwiches. That's short for peanut butter and LOTSA jelly, by the way, thanks to Keegan. Consider it part of your pantry.
Flour - whole wheat and white, beyond that, whatever your preferences are - unless you really get into baking, no need for bread flour or other specialty flours. If you have the space and use it often enough, buy the flour in 50 lbs sacks from Sam's Club or Costco, or get a buddy in the restaurant business to tack some on to his order. The prices are a lot less than buying 5 lbs. at a time. Store in 5 gallon buckets with good lids - makes it a lot easier to measure out, too!
Baking soda
Baking powder
Salt
Sugar (white or unbleached)
Brown sugar
Confectionery sugar
Chocolate chips
Baker's chocolate (semi-sweet)
Yeast (buy this in bulk off eBay - I paid 9 bucks plus shipping for 2 lbs a year ago- and I'm still using it!)Store in the freezer in a Tupperware container. Don't be paying $2.49 for 3 little packets.
Vegetable oil
and in the fridge (with the no knead dough)
butter (if you insist on margarine, stop right here. I can't help your cooking!)
eggs.
I'm sure I'll be adding to the list...but this is a good start
