The dough rises in the sun,
history of the human rice inside it:
orgies, famines, Christanity,
eras when a man could have his arm
chopped off for stealing half a loaf.
I punch it down, knead the dark
flour into the light, let it bake,
then set it on the table beside the knife,
learning the power
cooks have over others, the pleasure
of saying ”Eat.”
- Bread by Helena Minton
Looks like that will be a very hearty and tasty loaf once baked. I like your pov on this. I used to make bread all the time and this encourages me to do it again.
