In this video I show you step-by-step the way I was taught to make your own bread at home with no fancy equipment or machines. This method and recipe is super easy to do and anyone can do it. It is also a versatile recipe that allows you to throw in any extra ingredients or mix-ins like fresh or dried herbs, spices, purees, etc.
Let me know what ingredients you put in your bread when you try out this recipe! I love to hear from you!
INGREDIENT LIST:
1 1/2 cups of hot water (103-108 degrees F) 1/2 teaspoon of honey or sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons of dry yeast 1-2 teaspoons of salt (start with 1 tsp if you don’t like it salty) 1 tablespoon of oil (any oil is fine… olive oil, canola oil, peanut, etc.) 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour white bread flour added in 1/2 cup increments until needed consistency is reached any extra ingredients- fresh or dried herbs, spices, seasonings, oats, raisins, pumpkin puree, etc.
I love to take culinary, yoga philosophy and acoustic snapshots of the spaces that have filled my life. Jazz has functioned as a communal bond, ritual and form of social interaction. It has become more than just sounds. It has become a way of living in this world. Jazz has never been about music, it is the touchstone of modern cultural imagination, archiving mythical images and an aesthetic paradigm for new modes of writing, seeing, hearing and moving. I like to use the improvisational elements experienced for a different creative literary tapestry that uses all sensory input. Improvisation is the willingness to connect to every aspect of life. Jazz Imitates life through self expression and improvisation.
When I was 18, my dad arranged for me to work as a research/ writer intern on an ABC-TV Emmy-winning television documentary special on Jazz Music in 1972. I was assigned segments that focused on Big Band sound and Bebop. I discovered that the jazz tradition has stood up against the backdrop of racial strife, language, class and gender issues which is defined in literature and criticism for over 75 years in America. I have always had a fascination with creating works that would allow me to blend sound with words and abstract art. It is my desire to create a mosaic sensory experience using imagination, culinary, audio and visual experiences that are filled with the richness of childhood memories that shaped and inspired my thoughts.
