Are there children in the house? But hands down, the easiest bread to bake comes from the recipes by Jim Lahey of the Sullivan Street Bakery in New York City, first popularized by an article in the New York Times in 2006 --although it took me til 2020 to finally start baking it regularly. They published a quarterly magazine, ChopChop.

Each year, Community Progress welcomes grassroots community leaders to our Community Revitalization Fellowship (CRF) program, where they collectively learn how to help their neighborhoods tackle vacancy, abandonment, and disinvestment. Needless to say, 2020 taught me how important your community is. I love Memphis BBQ!
