<span style="font-weight:400">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.
<span style="font-weight:400">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.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho," Aria flew over to his side.
<span style="font-weight:400">"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,
<span style="font-weight:400">"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.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How does this taste?" What was grabbed next was a green vegetable. It was green garlic.
<span style="font-weight:400">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.
<span style="font-weight:400">"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,
<span style="font-weight:400">"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.
<span style="font-weight:400">No wonder she told me not to eat that. Alfia and Faelyn looked concerned as they said this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What about this one?" Keith looked at the one Diana and Fira nted. Just from the touch alone,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s lighter." The regr one had some heft to it. It was simr to a baseball. But this one felt like a golf ball instead. Keith took a piece out and handed one to Aria.
<span style="font-weight:400">"!" 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.
<span style="font-weight:400">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.
<span style="font-weight:400">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.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aria, can you make an ice bowl for me?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hoo." Aria pped her wings, and a giant ice bowl appeared. He ced the pot on top of it. The butter slowly started to thicken from the cold air. But that was what the man wanted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good, it''s a spread now."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ding." Perfect timing. Keith took the bread out of the oven. What he did next was smear the spread on the bread. There was arge amount on top of it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And put it back." The next thing was to let that bake and be delicious! The first bread was finished. Now I need to make the second one. That one required butter as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">Before he could start,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what are you baking right now?" Diana entered the kitchen.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, I''m baking some bread for my bakery."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Is it something new?" Diana was intrigued.
<span style="font-weight:400">"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?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure. An assistant would be helpful. Here''s an apron." Keith handed the apron to her. Wearing it, the two could begin.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Where do we begin, Keith?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, the next thing we''ll do is make rolled bread stuffed with onions and bacon."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Rolled bread?" She knew about onions and bacon. But what about the rest?
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s easy. For starters, can you roll the dough down?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"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."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do it like this," Keith held Diana''s hand from the back and slowly moved the pin back and forth.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith?" Diana''s eyes widened. But Keith didn''t realize it as he exined, "Move it like so. Do you understand?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I understand!" Diana nodded. Focus!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good. Then I will focus on the feeling." Keith quickly diced up some onions and bacon. Tossed the two into the butter; the mixture waspleted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to pour the mixture. Can you spread it evenly?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Diana nodded, and the two of them worked at a quick pace.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now we can roll it up. We have to keep it tight; that way, the filling won''t leak out."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood. I will follow your lead." Keith nodded as they started to roll it up.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Brush some oil on top, and we''re good to go!" Keith grinned as he ced it in the oven to cook.
