Designed to encourage mindfulness over the origins of everyday foods, [Bread From Scratch](http://mirkoihrig.com/index.php?/projects/bread-from-scratch/&ref=protein.xyz) is a project by designer [Mirko Ihrig's](http://www.mirkoihrig.com/?ref=protein.xyz) created as part of his masters thesis. Conceived as a reaction to the fact that many people no longer know where their food comes from or how it is processed, Ihrig developed a portable and easily assembled kiln and mill.  
  
Providing all the tools to make a loaf of bread from scratch, the setup consists of a mill the grind flour, a jar to cultivate a sourdough, a bowl to mix the ingredients, a board to knead the dough, a paddle to transfer the loaves and an oven to finally bake the loaf.   
  
Drawing attention to the growing negligence over food origins, this is a gentle reminder that even the humble of foods require to, at some stage, be toiled over. Inviting the public to step into the role of co-creator and active participant, Bread From Scratch is part of a growing trend that asks the consumer to play a more active role in their consumption. The success of projects such as [The Synth Kit](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/11/the-synth-kit?ref=protein.xyz) and [DIY Gamer Kit](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/10/diy-gamer-kit?ref=protein.xyz) prove that people are open to learning and trying new creative initiatives.
