Bakers C and A share what they know about bread… and how to eat it too!

If you are a baker, you need to take your work seriously.  Don’t forget your apron.  Grab a partner and sprinkle the flour liberally.  Make sure you ignore sister entirely and forget all about the fact that you are her entertainment for the hour.Grease the pan, roll your dough.Then put a toothpick in for every year you have been alive so you can tell your loaves apart—What? You didn’t know that’s how the real bakers do it?  Well, then you just learned something, didn’t you?Then put it in the oven to rise and bake.  Careful don’t burn yourself!  (Oh, Mama, this oven is not hot yet!)Good bakers enjoy to clean up while they wait.  In fact it might even be more fun than baking—if you are a real baker.  Because real bakers don’t stop until all the flour is wiped up, even from the floor!And while those loaves rise and bake, Baker C and Baker A say, “Please, play marbles, read books and color with chalk.  But don’t forget to check on the loaves every 30 seconds while they cool.”  (Baker C recommends taking a bite directly from the loaf as soon as you can pick it up.)  Mmmmmm just in time for lunch.Because every good baker knows you have to eat at least a slice while it is still warm!

“An dats how it woks!  Yeah.  Dat’s how it woks!”
