This document proposes a model to create jobs and value from a single loaf of bread. It suggests training under or unemployed individuals in local communities to bake and sell specialty breads. A high school student would present the idea to community groups to generate interest and involvement. The bakery would identify local specialty breads to produce and markets to sell to. Workers would be trained and use a community kitchen to prepare and deliver bread, sharing profits and expanding to help other communities start similar bakeries. The goal is to create jobs and benefit local communities with fresh, locally made bread.
