baking day

 Monday is Baking Day.

I had some surgery in my mouth last week and haven't eaten solid food for six days.

Baking day is a bit of a torment this time around.

The farmer gave her golden grain

For us to grind and grind

Now it's flour brown and white

Soft and very fine.

Add the water, yeast and honey

Mix it with our hands

When it's soft and not too runny

Let it stand and stand.

Shape the dough into a loaf

And put it in to cook

When it's crusty, crisp and brown

Then we'll have a look...
