Homemade bread is actually pretty fast (10 minutes prep, 12-18 hours waiting, 1 hour in the oven, 5 minutes of that requiring attention) if you do it no-knead (that is, instead of kneading it to mix up the proteins, you just let it sit for 12 hours).

I'm a big fan of crepes with apple or cheese, if you're cooking for yourself or 1 other - you make them in a pan, and then you eat that crepe while you make the next one.
