Making bread on a copper counter top?

Good luck. Copper's awfully soft, and scratches very easily.

Do you want to look at it, or eat the food prepared on it?

I'd be more worried about the getting too much copper into the body.

That and the fact that while copper looks nice when all bright and shiny, it doesn't stay that way for long. I was about fifteen before I realized all those green church roofs were actually copper, and simply hadn't been cleaned. I thought that sort of torquoise I saw on the roofs was "normal".

Hence unless someone is willing to clean the tarnish on a very regular basis, one has to actual put some sort of clear covering over the well cleaned copper so the air can't get to it.

I wouldn't. There's a reason that copper bowls are lined with tin.

But not ones intended for beating egg whites.

Some are; some aren't. And there's a reason for those that aren't, as well (think Kitchen Aid copper mixing bowls...)
