Meet the Bread Monk: Father Dominic and His Doughy Delights
Father Dominic Garramone, affectionately dubbed the "Bread Monk," joins us today to sprinkle some doughy wisdom into our lives. We knead into the art of baking, discovering that making bread is not just about slapping together flour and water – it’s a spiritual experience that connects us to our roots and our loved ones. Father Dom shares tales from his PBS days, his journey as a monk, and how he turned pizza nights into a community ritual that brings folks together. He’s got tips for tackling the fearsome yeast and dough kneading, and even spills the beans on his latest book, *Thursday Night Pizza*, which is a treasure trove of recipes and stories. So, whether you're a seasoned chef or a kitchen newbie, get ready to knead your way to happiness and maybe become a Breadhead yourself!
