Day 5: Bread of light

I wondered what would happen if I put a light bulb in bread dough, baked it then switched it on….
I used a low energy bulb as I thought maybe it wouldn’t get too hot and burn the bread when switched on. (don’t try this at home)
I liked the volcanic red colour/texture. Next step is to go bigger. This one is to be continued…
This is part of a 30 day Speed Creating project I am doing. Final outcomes will be exhibited at the Anti – Design Festival 18th-26th September, 28 Redchurch St, London. You can follow my progress on Twitter and Facebook, Click here to view all the days so far in a row.

This is by far the most random and creative thing I’ve ever seen done with either bread OR a lightbulb. Excellent!!

Comment by Layla September 6, 2010 @ 8:41 amI’m surprised the bulb didn’t break from the oven’s heat.

Comment by editionsavivre September 7, 2010 @ 9:16 amAwesome idea. Made me wonder if you could bake the bread with the heat of the bulb if it was plugged in.
Comment by Verner November 4, 2010 @ 9:14 pmHighlight would be the smell of freshly baked bread every time the light went on.
Comment by Anna November 17, 2010 @ 5:01 amYou guys should check it out this very interesting 2004 project called Paneluce, from Belmer Negrillo. It is a bread lamp that uses the heat of the bulb to finish the cooking of the bread, and allows for a consumption choice between eating the bread or keeping it as a lamp. http://www.mindness.net/ivrea/thesis/bakedbits/paneluce.html
Comment by Robert October 27, 2011 @ 5:22 amit would be really interesting if the lightbulb cooked the dough
