You know you can freeze bread, I do, stock up.

As you’ll see, I’m not worried about bread. It’s almost always there anyway.
We stow it in the fridge, which keeps it a very long time as is.

Good luck with the search of bread flour and yest
No joke. We were making some mead a week ago, and the recipe (JOAM) uses bread yeast. I took me 5 stores to find some, and I was lucky on that, the second Wally World I tried had maybe 15 of the single-packets left. It was the rapid-rise, but at least it works.

Almost the same for me, have flour need yeast, we have only made 3 grocery trips since early March, but no yeast each time, have baking powder/soda, but not the same as having yeast bread, never thought to stock up on yeast. Seeing info on FR and elsewhere, on “growing” your own yeast going to try that.

To my knowledge, you need to have some yeast beforehand. You just keep some of it growing in a jar, don't use the whole thing when you make whatever you're making.
Potato bread, beer bread, or some unleavened recipes might work for you as well.
Or, if you have a homebrew store near you, beer or wine yeast can be used to make bread as well. It might come out more dense (brewing yeasts are bred to have less CO2 output), maybe a slightly different flavor than you expect, but it's certainly doable. Also, they generally have a very good supply and should have plenty of yeast. Just be sure your getting a dry yeast, and not a liquid one. (Maybe. I don't know how it would be different in a bread.)
