Creating something with your own two hands provides a relaxing sense of accomplishment. Additionally, fresh-baked challah smells heavenly when taken from the oven. Dr. Ricanati wasn’t a baker before the challah project. She’s learned many wonderful life lessons while working with yeast and baking bread.  Listen as Dr. Ricanati joins host Lisa Davis to share how she’s found joy in the ritual of baking.
