Hello Martin!! I have only recently found your wonderful videos and I am daily watching you in the kitchen with your children as you create the masterpieces! During this incredibly stressful time, I find such joy and have happy memories of my own children being in the kitchen with me. Now, I am teaching my grandchildren to bake and cook their favorite foods. Creating good meals and home made bread items brings good health of course, but I find that it brings a unity and connection to a family. Keep up the great work and thank you for teaching and inspiring an entire new generation of bread bakers out there! I have been doing a lot of sourdough breads lately and had to get VERY invintive due to flour and other shortages. I have made bread with just about every kind of hodge-podge left over you can imagine. We were a military family when my children were young and financially, our family of five struggled with costs. I would toss left over vegetables, left over soups, mashed potatoes.... into the food processor and then on to making bread with whatever the day held. I believe that as long as you get the consistency of what good bread "feels" like, just about anything can be made into a bread. Adjusting the spices make a savory loaf or sweet one, and some might be more dense while others are light but in the end? There was wonderful bread, that was filled with extra nutrition that never gone thrown away. In these drastic times, I have never been as grateful for the lessons I learned from my Grandmother and my Mother about how they survived the Great Depression. We need to carry all the skills we learn during these isolated, financially-lean times and carry them with us. Just my two cents worth. Ha Ha! Thanks David, and keep "kneading on!"
