Today’s busy society demands that we de-stress before we wear ourselves out. Meditation and mindfulness are buzzwords for good reason.
Dr. Beth Ricanati found herself stressed when a friend recommended she bake challah bread. Making bread from scratch requires being in the moment. Creating something with your own two hands provides a relaxing sense of accomplishment. Additionally, fresh-baked challah smells heavenly when taken from the oven.
Dr. Ricanati wasn’t a baker before the challah project. She’s learned many wonderful life lessons while working with yeast and baking bread.
Listen as Dr. Ricanati joins host Lisa Davis to share how she’s found joy in the ritual of baking.
