Why Kneading Dough is the Best Anger Management Therapy Out There

Dear Crumbheads,

You ever have one of those days where the only thing standing between you and a full-on meltdown is sheer willpower and caffeine?

Well, what if I told you that instead of punching a wall, you could punch some dough and come out of it with a loaf of bread and a clearer mind?

How Kneading Dough Helps You Work Through Stress

• It’s physical, hands-on stress relief. You get to press, punch, and stretch out all your frustrations—without getting arrested.
  
• It forces you to slow down. Sourdough isn’t a quick process, and neither is unwinding. The dough sets the pace—you just follow along.
  
• You end up with something productive. Instead of sitting in your anger, you create something delicious.

Tension in your mind? Work it out in the dough.

Ever tried to take your anger out on dough? Highly recommend. The worse the day, the better the gluten development.

Mr. Crusty,

P.S. If all else fails, at least you’ll end up with carbs instead of regrets.
