From day three of the war, my team has baked bread and given it for free to our soldiers, hospitals, people in cities and villages hurt by the Russians, and the elderly of Kyiv. Our bakers make 450 to 1,000 charity loaves every day. And we will continue to bake them as long as our country needs them. Shape the dough into either a boule (round) or batard (oval) shape. Place, seam-side-up, into well-floured proofing baskets. For the dough, mix the white bread flour, water and the leaven in a bowl. If mixing by hand, mix until homogenous and smooth; if using a stand mixer, mix on speed one until smooth. Baking connects good people and lets them understand each other no matter what language they speak.’– ANNA MAKIEVSKA In addition to the recipes, Knead Peace also includes a foreword by Anna Makievska, the owner of The Bakehouse Kyiv. Makievska's story is inspiring, and it is a reminder of the strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people.
