    Oct 12 2020

    Just looking at his bread account on Instagram, you'll understand why Henry has made bread in more places than many of us have lived, including Tokyo, California, DC, and Rhode Island. Also he's so far successfully finessing the academic system by kneading together (hah) his interest in biology and bread making. If he actually gets approval to write his thesis about working in a bread lab in NY I will quit school and join the circus. Thank you for the delicious challah, Henry!
