Great Fandom Bake-Off, Thursday, First Period
The pastoral tent that was the classroom for this was the same as it had been for the last two classes. But this time the teachers were looking as though they'd finally found a new, surprising thing about this time and place to impress them. But it was impressive in the same way you're impressed in a Folgers commercial.
Which was only mildly.
"So, this week we start on bread," Jaskier said, looking at the sheet in his hand. "They just have yeast in packets here. That's... you know, I have no clue how it works back home and I don't think I'll be learning anytime soon."
"I'm almost certain it doesn't come in packets," Yennefer mused, "but I haven't the faintest idea how it works." Nor did she think she would be learning anytime soon. "At any rate, it makes things much simpler, I'm sure, so this week you will be making bread!"
"The recipe says it's a country loaf," Jaskier added, looking at it thoughtfully. "Isn't that just any sort of bread being made?"
"They have all those fancier breads here," Yennefer reminded him. She was particularly fond of brioche. "Although it's made mostly with white flour, so this is already fit for a king's table by our world's standards...perhaps this is too easy?" she asked, while not knowing what half the words in the recipe meant. "We'll have you make a fancier bread later in the class," she decided.
"Basics first," Jaskier agreed with a sage nod of someone who would not be making them himself.
"You have all your instructions," Yennefer told the students, "and the part that has to be done ahead of time has been done for you," by the Danger Shop. They certainly hadn't done it. "So...get to it."
