She has lined up all sorts of measuring cups and measuring spoons in front of her. Behind them are bags of flour, sugar, salt and yeast. In the middle of her workspace, Claire has a wrinkled piece of paper which has her grandmother’s recipe written on it.  \nClair follows the directions. “It says to put a  \npinch of yeast into four cups of warm water , and then add five cups of flour,” Claire reads out loud , while measuring the precise amount of flour she needs and dumping it into her bowl.  \n“Well, I’m going to make my own special bread. I have the recipe right up here,” Mimi says, pointing to her head.  \nMimi starts dumping ingredients into her bowl without measuring them. A handful of flour goes in, followed by a large spoonful of sugar, a small spoonful of salt , a tiny bit of yeast and a coffee mug of water. Mimi starts kneading these ingredients together, but they are not sticking together very well.  \n“I don’t think bread works like that,” Claire says. Claire adds exactly one teaspoon of sugar and one-half a teaspoon of salt to her bowl, and then she starts working the mixture into a round ball of sticky dough.  \n“Well, this is how my bread works,” Mimi says, still struggling with the mess in her bowl. “It’s supposed tobe dry and gloppy like this, and then it all comes together perfectly in the end.”  \n“Whatever you say, Mimi.”  \nClaire shapes her dough into a perfect ball , then coats it with olive oil, just like the recipe says. She places a kitchen towel over her bowl and sets it by the window.  \n“It’s not going to bake by the window, Claire. The sun isn’thot enough ,” Mimi points out to her sister in her best grownup voice.  \n[www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com) © K5 Learning 2020 23  \n“I’m not baking it yet. The recipe says you have to wait half an hour,” Claire answers. “Grandma says the yeast needs time to make the dough rise. It’s supposed to double in size before you bake it.”  \n“My dough’s perfect just like it is,” Mimi declares. The ingredients in her bowl are barely clinging together, but Mimi plops them onto a baking tray , and into the oven they go. She turns around and smiles at Claire , quite satisfied with her efforts.  \n“We’ll see, Mimi. None of that looked right to me,” Claire says.  \nAn hour later, the sisters compare their loaves of bread. Claire’s dough has risen beautifully in the oven and has gained a fine and golden crust. Mimi’s dough, on the other hand, has turned into something dense and hard. Her bread looks like a short, sandcolored brick.  \n“You should have just followed the recipe and waited for the yeast to rise,” Claire says. She shrugs her shoulders and rests her perfect loaf on the kitchen table.  \nMimi tries to cut her bread, but it is too hard. It breaks into small pieces.  \n“Be careful, you might break the knife,” Claire says, laughing.  \n“I think next time I’ll follow a recipe ,” Mimi says, sighing.  \nJust then, the girls ’ mother walks in and winks at Claire.“Did someone make croutons?” their mother asks. “We need them for the salad .”  \nMimi lifts up the baking tray with her dense and hefty bread.“Fresh croutons, right here!” she answers.  \n“Oh, it was you , Mimi,” her mother exclaims , looking surprised. “I never knew you could bake!
