Breadmaking as a therapeutic exercise

Reposted from a comment elsewhere:

If you buy a pack of yeast there's a recipe printed on the side. 1 lb flour, 1 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 pint warm water. Beat the living daylights out of it, abandon it to its miserable fate and see how it likes it, beat the living daylights out of it again, let it recover, and just as it thinks it's safe, tip it head-first into the fucking oven. HA. That'll show it.

I loved this the first time I saw it, I still think it's the best recipe for bread ever.

I could do with some kneading therapy this morning. When I live somewhere that has an oven that dough won't know what's hit it.
