Baking your own bread - how do you do it?

I'm planning to bake bread for my son myself.

My idea was to bake two loaves this weekend, which should then last for a week. My questions are:

Is it best to bake two loaves side by side on one baking sheet? What size proofing baskets should I use in that case? Or should I bake two large loaves one below the other on two separate baking sheets?

How do you manage to keep a supply on hand? I don't really want to bake again during the week...

I'm completely new to this. What equipment do I need for baking? What are your experiences?

Thank you so much in advance! 🙏
