HNT: Baking

Wednesday

It is patience
It is understanding 
the
ebb
and
flow 
 Of ingredients
Of Environmental factors 

It is flirting
with formulations
to achieve
the ultimate
in taste combination -
Whether 
that result achieved
is
simplistic
or 
quite complicated.

Baking is 
the warmth of a stack oven
Of the freshly
de-panned product.

Baking is
 the satisfaction
Of creation.
 Of the tears 
which 
well in their eyes
when a taste, a smell
invokes 
memories
of home,
Of a loved one
that 
has
passed on.

Baking is
the alcoholic fumes
permeating
from a container
that
housed 
your starter -
your poolish -
your biga -
or 
your mix.

Baking is intoxication.
