Teaching students the art and skill of artisan bread baking is not only sharing valuable techniques and information about the journey that a grain of wheat takes from being planted, harvested, milled, and subsequently baked into a wholesome loaf of bread. It is about using the medium of bread, baking and inspiring young scholars to learn about critical thinking, decision making, and to discover the vast universe of creativity. Using bread baking as a metaphor to give students a sheer endless assortment of tools necessary on their road to a successful and fulfilling career.
