the crust

Posted on April 4, 2019 by Susan L Daniels

I make bread
not the way
mom and grandma did,
kneading until knuckles were clean
of flour

but with my Kitchenaid
with a dough hook

funny how that smell
of bread, still warm
cut open
spread with butter
and honey

reminds me of them
no matter how I made it

and I smile and sigh
simultaneously
before my teeth
kiss the crust

    I love the detail of transferee knowledge “kneading until knuckles were clean
of flour”. Very nice
