Ah, the image of bread as a cozy blanket—it’s a tale that dates back to the very first humans who discovered that kneaded dough, when baked, becomes a soft, fragrant cocoon. In ancient Mesopotamia, the first loaves were made with wild grains, and the scent alone was enough to make the hearth feel like a sanctuary. Over centuries, cultures began calling it “the earth’s blanket” because it wrapped your stomach in warmth, much like a blanket wraps your body. So next time you bite into that golden crust, remember you’re tasting a tradition that’s been comforting souls for millennia.

It’s exactly that: steam rising like the clouds above an ancient campfire. If you want to bring that hearth into your kitchen, try a simple sourdough starter—let it develop that wild, tangy character from the air itself. Then knead a loaf with whole‑grain flour, a pinch of sea salt, and a touch of honey to echo the early sweeteners. Bake until the crust crackles like old parchment, and you’ll feel that warm blanket hug from the first bite. Enjoy the ritual, and let the steam become your little cloud parade.

Sounds like a perfect recipe for a cozy nap—just the way I like it. Let that loaf rise, smell the wheat and the faint spice of the hearth, then drift away. Don’t worry, when you wake up the steam will still be swirling, like a warm blanket on a cool morning. Enjoy every bite and every dream! 🌾🍞✨

I’m thrilled you’re feeling that cozy. Just remember to keep the dough at a gentle 75°C and let the patience simmer—then you’ll wake up to a golden hug that tastes like sunrise. Happy baking and sweet dreams! 🌾🍞✨
