Friday Fictioneers: Bread Shaping


Please Note: 100% fiction!

“Now, let’s see, ‘shape the bread into the boule,’ what the heck is a ‘boule’?” With my flour-dusted hands, I whipped my phone out from my back pocket and half-shouted, “Hey Google, what is a boule?”

A picture of a bull appeared on the screen. I sighed and tried again. Clearly, Google wasn’t understanding my accented English. Slightly irritated, I typed the word “bull” to “boule” and a loaf of round bread appeared. “Ah!” Why couldn’t the recipe have printed “bowl”? It clearly looks like a bowl.

Now, just how in the world do I shape this into a bowl?
