Colourful stuff: blow dough – Video of the day

Israeli designers Omer Polak and Michal Evyatar have blown coloured dough into set of edible balloons filled with different odours.

Omer Polak and Michal Evyatar used an industrial blower traditionally used for glass blowing to shape and bake the Blow Dough simultaneously.

Collaborating with chef Erez Komorovsky, the duo added combinations of herbs during the blowing process to scent the air inside the bubbles.

“By taking a bite into the balloon the odours spread out directly through the mouth and the nose,” said the designers. “Thus, the entire eating experience is enriched.”

The dough was made by simply mixing flour, water and seasoning, then kneading the ingredients together to create a stodgy material.

To create the bright colours, the water has been substituted for fresh juice from vegetable including beetroot, carrots and spinach.

The dough was stretched over a hole in a bench, positioned over the blower. A circular metal template was placed over the top to make material inflate as spherically as possible.
