Lubou Veramej: Baking bread

Categories: Family, Lubou Veramej

Please, tell me how did your mother bake bread?

She baked bread. She baked good bread. She could bake very perfectly, she could bake bread. Very good. And I baked bread too, I remember. I remember how I baked bread. For kneading there was such a dough dish, we made leaven, we made dough sour in a small barrel. Our father made barrels. He made everything. So, he made such a dough dish for bread. So we kneaded the dough in it. Well. She put leaven in water. And then she put some flour in it for a night so that it stays liquid, and in the morning mother woke us up… or… when we were small she kneaded herself. Well. The bread would rise so high that you can see it out of the dough dish. This bread. Well. And we… baked it on the oven sole brick, on maple leaf; there was such a peel, also there was a hearth-broom made… well. Made of pine twigs. She swept out the oven and put… some flour on the peel and put bread just onto the oven sole brick. Well. And bread turned out to be good.
