Baking: Sweet and Savory | Monday, 3rd period

"Welcome back," Hannibal said to his students. "I hope you're all ready to return to baking. Our lesson for today is twofold. First, not all baking needs to happen in an oven." He gestured to the large, flat stove in front of him. "Any cooking that does not involve liquid or direct flame is technically baking. And second, not all bread requires yeast or is a quick bread."

He smiled. "I don't know if any of you celebrate the current holiday, but it provided a bit of inspiration at least. There are a number of variations on flat bread around the world; I've selected several of them here, but please feel free to explore your own. Often, these breads are eaten with other foods - whether as filling, topping, or using the bread as utensil."

He showed them the examples he had. "You may choose to make any of these, or another you're familiar with. And you may also, naturally, eat mine as you work. Anyone who would like to try injera, I've the fermented teff and water ready to go. Any questions?"

"Interesting," Cosette said, "though I confess I haven't much experience with the French style. Either way, you've got to be careful making sure the batter isn't too thick or too thin, haven't you?"

"There is an art to it," Hannibal agreed. "Fortunately, so long as it's uniform, they are fairly forgiving."

"There are some foods that would benefit from their example," Cosette said lightly.

People, too, but she was too nice to add that part.

"Yes, but those are the challenge," Hannibal said, grinning. "It can be much more fun to learn to work with less flexible ingredients."

Food or people or people food.
