I think I\u2019ve baked more bread in the past month than I did in all the decades leading up to it. I mean, I\u2019ve been baking since I was a teenager. But it\u2019s never been such a consistent part of my weekly routine as when sheltering in place for fear of spreading a deadly virus. The other day you should have my eyes light up above my mask when I found a jar of <\/span>Fleischmann\u2019s active dry yeast<\/span><\/a> at Target. (Not the rapid rise instant stuff, but that\u2019s okay \u2014\u00a0I\u2019ve got plenty of time on my hands.)<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, me being me, I haven\u2019t been able to make bread without overthinking that simple act. My mind keeps asking questions about the history of baking, and its religious implications.<\/span><\/p>\n
