2020-05-31The Bread Influencers
I've been a baker in some sense of the word since 2006. I could not have foretold a day when Instagram influencers would make thousands of dollars a day or charge $70.00 for a private bread baking lesson. I love making bread more than I love eating it. The skill it takes to create the perfect crumb structure takes years to master. The practice of creating the perfect ear with a lame seems endless, a perfect ear is worthy of celebration. With the coronavirus pandemic, people are slowing down and taking notice of this art and those who've mastered it. People want to know how to create it for themselves and I'm all for it. It's about time bread made a come back from the wicker basket on the sidelines. Just remember to leave some yeast and flour on the shelf for the next person.
