To every dad in Crust & Crumb Academy today, this one’s for you. I think about what it means to bake as a father. It’s not a small thing. You’re carving out time in a life that doesn’t hand you much of it. You’re learning something that takes patience, and if you’re anything like me, some of your best bakes happened late at night when the house went quiet and the kitchen was finally yours. But here’s what I know. Your kids see you in that kitchen. They see you try something hard. They see you fail at it, and come back to it, and get better at it. That matters more than any loaf you’ll ever pull out of the oven. I have four kids, Reid, Payton, Nolan, and Ryan. Every one of them has stood in my kitchen at some point watching me work a dough. I don’t know what they’ll carry from that. But I hope they carry something. So if you baked this weekend, good. If you didn’t, good. If someone made you breakfast and you ate it slowly and didn’t rush off anywhere, even better. You belong here. Keep baking. Keep showing up. Happy Father’s Day, gentlemen. 🍞 ~ Henry⭐️🔥
