Bread baking has and will always be a major attribute for me in many ways. As a child, spending the summers with my grandmother in NY where bread baking was the highlight of those hot summer days. Waking very early to the sounds of clanging bowls, squeaking oven doors and the warm sweet fragrance was a standard of life. Cultivating extraordinary Breads from ordinary ingredients, she was an inspiration. Later as a single mom with 4 growing sons, good bread met not only our own personal needs but also sustained our household by creating a cottage bakery, selling breads locally at farms and farmer’s markets. After the boys grew and flew, In 2018 I began teaching bread baking at a local Education center. It was during those classes I First developed and inspired Beautiful focaccia breads called Bread Art.
