Innovation within the world of cannabis is constantly leading to inventive and creative outcomes within the field. Edibles, in particular, is an area that seems almost limitless when it comes to medicating food and turning everyday delicacies into a recreational stoning treat.

Anything from pasta, salad dressings, and sauces can be modified to become vessels of cannabinoids. It's even possible to infused bread with THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids, meaning anything from a slice of toast to a multi-layered sandwich can get you baked.
INGREDIENTS

The quantities displayed below will make enough bread to serve approximately 6 people. You will need:
- 1½ cups water
- 3 teaspoons caster sugar
- 1 litre nonfat dry milk
- 4 cups flour bread flour or all purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons cannabutter (this amount can be easily adjusted to enhance or weaken the psychoactive effect of the bread)
- 2 tablespoons ground cannabis
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
DIRECTIONS
- First you will need to proof the yeast. This can be done by adding it to warm water, with equal amounts of water and yeast. Then add ⅛ teaspoon of sugar. After a period of around ten minutes, you should see bubbles start to rise around the edges of the mixture.
- Now it’s time to make another mixture. Grab a bowl and add the dry milk, sugar, flour, and the ground weed. Mix these ingredients together with your hands in order to achieve a pleasant fluffy texture. Now that the dry ingredients have been mixed, create a space in the middle of the bowl and fill it with the wet ingredients, meaning the yeast mixture.
ACHIEVING THE RIGHT TEXTURE
- The next task is to mix these ingredients together adequately and to achieve the correct texture. Continue using your hands to punch the mixture; it should gradually start to form a dough consistency within around 15 minutes. The mixture should start to form a soft and smooth ball. If the mixture has become too wet and stick, add some extra flour. If it has become too hard and dry, throw some extra water into the mix.
- Once you have achieved the correct consistency, cover the top of the bowl with some plastic wrap or a lid. Over time the dough should pretty much double in size, so make sure your bowl has enough space to contain this transformation. If you plan on setting this dough aside to use in another recipe such as pizza then your job here is done. Simply freeze the dough until you plan on using it.
- If you plan on making a loaf of weed bread then you can add the entire dough in a loaf pan, or you can break it apart and make several small rolls or buns. Whatever option you choose, cover the pan or pans again and let the dough continue to rise. Now spread your cannabutter supply over the top of the loaf or separate rolls. Place them into an oven and cook at a temperature of 177 degrees Celsius for about half an hour. You should see your bread start to display a golden brown colour.
