Well from the 'About Me' section, you know already that I love to bake. I always have, ever since I started baking with my mom at about age 4. I love to work with dough and figure out new combinations that are taste amazing. Ive always played around with the idea of starting a bakery of my own someday, but I never had a definite direction I wanted to take with it. So for years it's just been an idea that passes through my mind every once in a while. But, now that I have been working in Germany as a chef assistant, I have realized just how much I would love to have my own place to bake for others and share good bread and unique creations. One day, a few weeks ago, I was making pita bread, the way my mom taught me, and the way she was taught by a friend from Jordan, and it dawned on me that I could combine my love for baking with my love for travels and other cultures. My vision for my bakery would be a place where people can come and get healthy, all-natural, from scratch bread that is not found in your normal supermarket. It would also be a place for community. It would be a place where diversity is celebrated and where people can enjoy other cultures through good bread. Also, because I always do my best to eat as healthy as possible (except of course for when I must give in to my nagging sweet tooth), I would make all my bread healthy, but not boring. So many people do not eat healthy breads because to them, healthy breads are dark, tasteless, and down-right not tasty. This will not be true of my breads... Because I am vegetarian, I would include vegan and vegetarian breads as well...
So this is my idea...I would love to hear your ideas and thoughts! Would you go to a bakery like this? I have never looked into the details of starting a business before, so with the economy, do you think it is possible? Please help me out! And continue to read as I share my journey around the world in search of good bread!
