I wanted to mix bread with some existing structure so chose a couple of items for the baking treatment. Firstly the Philippe Starck lemon squeezer which is very sleek and stylish, perfect to be breadified.
Dough took a while to wrap around the squeezer.
Made me hungry for lemon curd on crispy bread.
Attempt at stylish shot in style of.
I had the idea to mix plaster with the flour to see if it made a super strong bread.
Thought I would make the grip comfortable for me.
The Plaster-Bread has the nice crack/crustiness of bread but loses the brown colour. More testings of this new material are imminent.
A little olive oil or egg wash might restore that color.
You could reinforce the bread with a matrix of raisins or steel wool.
Google “salt dough” and you will find a lot of pictures and recipes for bread projects. You can even colour the dough with any water based paint.
Yes bread has been used for decoration for hundreds of years. But in this case I was not so interested in that and wanted to find new uses.
