Seize the means of fermentation! ⓽⓶ Robespierre shares
A bulletin on the life and (up)rising of my sourdough starter: Robespierre
at 1201pm the new loaf is born STOP
still incandescent from its time in the oven STOP
she rests vertically STOP despite my impatience STOP
communal ovens used to be common in Italy STOP
places of food production STOP for entire villages STOP and towns STOP and families STOP
today there are circa 425 communes1 in my country without immediate access to bread STOP
and only approx 44% of the italian population can reach a bakery in less than 15m STOP
but hope cannot dissipate STOP
Forno Santa Rita2 is an example STOP an attempt to reinvigorate small towns STOP to avoid letting them die STOP
Forno Aurelio STOP here in Dublin STOP shares bread with friends and family STOP while Robespierre dreams noisily STOP
the day in which the baker lays the first stone STOP
for a wood fire oven STOP
may you see the sun - and yourself - rise, Robespierre STOP
