Hi Amara! I read that you bake on Sundays. What have you been making lately?
Hi! Mostly bread rolls. I work on a morning radio show, so on a day off I like doing something that doesn’t involve listening through headphones.
Jonas asked Amara 6 questions across San Francisco and Atlanta.

Jonas and Amara had not met. This was how Amara first introduced themselves:
The first question came from this introduction. Later questions followed the answers.

Take a turn being interviewed. Write a short introduction and give someone a place to ask you a question.
No, my first loaf was almost flat. I sent a picture to my sister, carefully choosing the one angle where it looked taller. She asked how it tasted before she said anything about the photo.
Fine when toasted, if you didn’t expect a soft slice. We ate it with soup. I had been ready to call the whole thing a failure, but lunch was perfectly all right.
Yes, the following Sunday. I changed fewer things that time. On the first go I had swapped ingredients and guessed a couple of measurements, so I couldn’t tell what had gone wrong.
A little, but I try not to turn baking into another production schedule. I don’t need every Sunday to produce something worth photographing. Sometimes I buy bread instead.
My neighbor gets a few, if she wants them. I ask first now. Once I brought some over just as she was leaving for a week, and we both stood there trying to solve a bread problem.
