Volume 7 Chapter 36: Baking Bread In The Morning

Keith cracked his neck back and forth, preparing his body. It was time for him to embark on a new baking adventure. He had woken up extra early, filled with anticipation, to prepare the bread for breakfast.

I should be able to bake some interesting things with this. There were various ingredients before him, ranging from savory options like rush bull meat to sweet options like dragon bee honey.

"Ho," Aria flew over to his side.

"I'm going to make some delicious bread and pastries for today." There were some things he thought of what to do. But first things first,

"I should prepare some bread." The first one he was going to make needed some baked bread. Mixing some flour and shaping the dough, Keith tossed it into the oven.

"How does this taste?" What was grabbed next was a green vegetable. It was green garlic.

Hearing what Alfia said, he quickly went out to buy the thing. Asking Diana to grow it was a simple task as well. It looks entirely different from the one I purchased. The green garlic he had bought was a dark, dull green. But the one Diana grew was bright green.

"How does the original taste?" Keith handed a piece to Aria and took a bite of the original. From what Alfia said, they could eat it raw. However,

"Bleh!" "Hoo." Keith and Aria spat it out. So bitter! Bitterness enveloped their mouth. It's so earthy as well. Keith couldn't believe how earthy it tasted. It was like a pile of dirt was shoved down his throat.

No wonder she told me not to eat that. Alfia and Faelyn looked concerned as they said this.

"What about this one?" Keith looked at the one Diana and Fira planted. Just from the touch alone,

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"It's lighter." The regular one had some heft to it. It was similar to a baseball. But this one felt like a golf ball instead. Keith took a piece out and handed one to Aria.

"!" Keith munched on the garlic. Sweet. It was still bitter and earthy like usual. However, it was on a lighter side. What was more, it had a slightly subtle sweet taste.

This could work. A grin formed on the boy's face as he was prepared to make something. He took out a giant stick of butter. Tossing it into the pan, he took out the garlic cloves and incorporated them with the butter.

Add some other spices as well. Keith had added some herbs to the pan. Slowly stirring it, the garlic and herbs mixed together with the butter.

"Aria, can you make an ice bowl for me?"

"Hoo." Aria flapped her wings, and a giant ice bowl appeared. He placed the pot on top of it. The butter slowly started to thicken from the cold air. But that was what the man wanted.

"Good, it's a spread now."

"Ding." Perfect timing. Keith took the bread out of the oven. What he did next was smear the spread on the bread. There was a large amount on top of it.

"And put it back." The next thing was to let that bake and become delicious! The first bread was finished. Now I need to make the second one. That one required butter as well.

Before he could start,

"Keith, what are you baking right now?" Diana entered the kitchen.

"Ah, I'm baking some bread for my bakery."

"Hmm? Is it something new?" Diana was intrigued.

"Yep, yep. I've already finished preparing one thing. But I'm about to start the second with this." Keith raised the pot with the butter in it. That caused Diana to be even more fascinated, "Do you need help with anything?"

"Sure. An assistant would be helpful. Here's an apron." Keith handed the apron to her. Wearing it, the two could begin.

"Where do we begin, Keith?"

"Ah, the next thing we'll do is make rolled bread stuffed with onions and bacon."

"Rolled bread?" She knew about onions and bacon. But what about the rest?

"It's easy. For starters, can you roll the dough down?"

"Okay." Diana nodded as she started to roll the dough. That caused Keith to stop, "Don't use that much force. If you make it too thin, the dough will tear when we fill it in."

"Do it like this," Keith held Diana's hand from the back and slowly moved the pin back and forth.

"Keith?" Diana's eyes widened. But Keith didn't realize it as he explained, "Move it like so. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Diana nodded. Focus!

"Good. Then I will focus on the filling." Keith quickly diced up some onions and bacon. Tossed the two into the butter; the mixture was completed.

"I'm going to pour the mixture. Can you spread it evenly?"

"Mmhmm." Diana nodded, and the two of them worked at a quick pace.

"Now we can roll it up. We have to keep it tight; that way, the filling won't leak out."

"Understood. I will follow your lead." Keith nodded as they started to roll it up.

"Brush some oil on top, and we're good to go!" Keith grinned as he placed it in the oven to cook.
