Kitchen Magic

Posted on October 19, 2016 by

 

Handfuls of flour.
Sprinkle of salt.
Shower of yeast.
Liquid to combine
and bloom.
Hands to prod
and stretch.
Flow of energy
stimulating growth.
Time and air
and a bit of fairy dust
giving lift and rise.
Heat the final step.
Crackle of crust
encasing tender crumb.
So much from so little.

About Mary Jane

I am a retired English teacher. My husband, Frank, and I have lived on Cape Cod since 2000. I am a lifelong bread baker and writer and have been posting a blog on Falmouth Patch for the last few years. Savory Seasons has been largely devoted to recipes and food in general. I am hoping to expand my focus in this new blog.
