Ukondla ingokomoya lakho, iya ekhishini
Ukubhaka isinkwa kungaba yisifundo esijulile esingokomoya.
Nginomzimba omusha ophilayo - ngokungabi nesikhathi esingcono - engizondla ngaso ekhaya lami. Yisiqalo sami somuncu omuncu, ingxube efulawa kakolweni, enombala oshibilikisi, amanzi nemvubelo ehlala embizeni yengilazi ngemuva kwesiqandisi. Kanye ngesonto uvakashela ikhawunta yasekhishini, lapho agcinwa khona ngamanzi, ufulawa ne-oxygen. Kwesinye isikhathi ngiyayihlukanisa bese ngisebenzisa ingxenye yayo ukuthola ama-crackers noma i-focaccia.
Ngivame ukubuza abangani ukuthi bangathanda yini ukuthola isikhalazo, ngoba ukugcinwa kwabo kubiza kakhulu. Masonto onke, udinga ukulahla okungenani isigamu sokuphaka ukuvikela inhlama yakho emuncu ekukhuleni ngendlela yokuthi ilawule wonke amashalofu esiqandisini sakho kanye nezicucu zokugcina ekhabetheni.
Amanye "amakhanda esinkwa" aziqhayisa ngezithambisi ezinolayini obuyela emuva ku- "Izwe Elidala", izithambisi esezondliwe iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu. Isikhalazo sami ngasinikwa nguPeter Reinhart, umbhali we-The Bread Baker's Apprentice (Ten Speed Press) James Beard Award, ngemuva kwesifundo engisithathe naye.
Ngenza izinkwa zemvubelo isonto ngalinye kulandela ukuhlanganiswa kwemiyalo evela kwabanye ababhaki kanye ne-intuition yami. Isinkwa ngasinye sehlukile, umkhiqizo wezithako, isikhathi, izinga lokushisa kanye nezandla zami - nezendodana yami. Ukubhaka isinkwa kuwubuciko basendulo engabuguqula ngokuholwa nokuhlakanipha kwababhaki abahle kakhulu ngokulalela imizwa yami nokuphendula izidingo zomndeni wami.
Ikhishi lami lendlu liguqulwe laba yi-nanobakery ikakhulu njengokufuna incwadi engiyibhalayo mayelana nengokomoya lesinkwa kanye noMthendeleko. Bengingazi ukuthi ngisho nangaphambi kokuba kuhhaviniwe, ukupheka kwami kunika umndeni wami okuningi okufanele ucabange ngakho. Kwaqala ngonyaka owedlule lapho saya entshonalanga yeMichigan siyotshala ukolweni oyindlalifa epulazini elincane lezinto eziphilayo elalizovunwa ngonyaka olandelayo bese liphenduka libe ufulawa wesinkwa senhlanganyelo kanye namaqebelengwane.
Ekuseni ekuseni ngo-Okthoba okwakungeke kube wusuku oluhle kakhulu lwasekwindla, sacindezela izandla zethu emhlabathini, sakubusisa futhi sibonga uNkulunkulu ngakho konke okwakungasinikeza imbewu - izakhamzimba zokukhula nendawo yokuzinza. Siqoqe amajikijolo kakolweni asesandleni esivuno sangaphambilini - isiyingi esingaqhekeki - sawaphonsa emhlabeni ikakhulukazi kulayini oqondile.
Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kunikeze umndeni wami ithuba lokuxhumana ngokomzimba nomhlaba, ufunde kabanzi ngemikhuba yezolimo futhi wabelane ngobudlelwano nalabo abanomsebenzi wokunakekela umhlaba. Indodana yami encane nayo yaqonda ubukhulu bezenzo zethu. Naye wabeka izandla phansi wavala amehlo ethandaza.
Ithuba lokucabanga ngokwenkolo lalikhona kuwo wonke amakhona, lilungele ukucatshangelwa izingqondo ezindala nezintsha ngokufanayo: kusho ukuthini ukuba umphathi wezomhlaba? Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi thina abahlali basemadolobheni, hhayi abalimi, siwunakekele lo mhlaba, siqinisekise ilungelo elifanayo lesinkwa lezizukulwane ezizayo?
Ekhaya ngipheka ngiphethe le mibuzo futhi ngichitha isikhathi esiningi, amandla nemali ngenza izinkwa zikafulawa womhlabathi ngokhula olondolozwe futhi ovuniwe. Isinkwa sami asisiwo umzimba kaKristu ngesikhathi seMisa, kepha ubungcwele boMhlaba nabaphathi bawo buvezwa kimi njengoba ngixuba inhlama.
Ku-The Bread Baker's Apprentice, uReinhart uchaza inselelo yombhaki njengokuthi “kuvusa amandla ayo agcwele kukakolweni ngokuthola indlela yokuveza ama-molecule esitashi anganambitheki. . . ukuzama ukukhulula ushukela olulula ohlangene ngaphakathi kwama-carbohydrate anzima kodwa angenakuphikiswa. Ngamanye amagama, umsebenzi wombhaki ukwenza isinkwa sinambitheke kakhulu ngokukhipha iphunga eliningi ngangokunokwenzeka kuzithako zalo. Kwenziwa ngenqubo elula neyasendulo, ukuvutshelwa, okungenzeka ukuthi kuyimbangela yemvelaphi yokuphila eMhlabeni.
Imvubelo esebenzayo yondla ngoshukela okhishwe okusanhlamvu ngemuva kokunikezwa amanzi. Ngenxa yalokhu, ikhipha igesi noketshezi olumuncu kwesinye isikhathi olubizwa nge- "hooch". Ukuvutshelwa kuguqula izithako kusuka entweni eyodwa kuye kwenye. Umsebenzi wombhaki ukugcina lowo mvubelo uphila kuze kube yisikhathi sokubhaka, lapho ekhipha khona "umoya" wakhe wokugcina, anikeze isinkwa ukuvuka kokugcina bese sifa kuhhavini oshisayo. Imvubelo iyafa ukunika impilo isinkwa, esisuke sidliwe futhi sisinikeze impilo.
Ubani owayazi ukuthi isifundo esingokomoya esijule kangaka singaba nakho futhi kwabelwane ngaso ekhishini lakho?
Eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule ngangilalele inkulumo eyanikezwa isazi semfundiso yenkolo uNorman Wirzba, onomsebenzi omuhle kakhulu ogxile ekutheni imfundiso yenkolo, imvelo kanye nezolimo zihlangana kanjani. Utshele izethameli ukuthi: "Ukudla kuyindaba yokuphila noma yokufa."
Ngokwami ukwenza ngithole ukuthi ekubhekeni nasekuchobozeni isinkwa sinethuba lokuzwa ubudlelwano obuyimfihlakalo phakathi kokuphila nokufa ngezindlela ezijulile nezijwayelekile. Izinhlamvu ziyaphila zize zivunwe futhi zigaywe. Imvubelo ifa ngokushisa okukhulu. Izithako ziphenduka zibe okunye.
Isithako esivela kuhhavini yinto ebikade ingekho ngaphambili. Kuba yisinkwa, ukudla okunomsoco nokunomsoco okungasho nokudla uqobo. Ngokusihlephula futhi sikudle, sinikezwa impilo, hhayi kuphela izakhamzimba ezidingekayo ukuxhasa impilo yangokwenyama, kodwa futhi nalokho esikudingayo ukusekela impilo kamoya.
Kuyamangaza yini ukuthi uJesu andise izinkwa nezinhlanzi njengesinye sezimangaliso zakhe ezimemezela umbuso kaNkulunkulu? Noma ukuthi wayevame ukuhlephula isinkwa nabangane bakhe nabalandeli, ngisho nangobusuku bakhe bokugcina eMhlabeni, lapho ethi isinkwa ayesihlephula kwakuwumzimba wakhe, ophulelwe thina?
Isinkwa - sibhakwe, sanikwa, samukelwa futhi sabiwe - siyimpilo yangempela.
