Chapter 21: The Bakery
The bakery on Liberty Avenue lit its ovens at three in the morning, and by four the back room was full of women in aprons.
The senior baker stood at the long flour table with her sleeves rolled to the elbow.
She was seventy-six, built low and broad, with thick forearms and a gray braid pinned under a hairnet.
"You are the Slovak girl," she said. "Wash your hands. You can't talk in my kitchen with clean ones."
I washed.
I put my hands in the dough she pointed at.
It was warm and alive and stuck to my fingers.
Teta sat on a flour sack by the oven, wrapped in her black cardigan, supervising.
Tomo stood against the wall with his coat still on.
The baker looked at him once and put a ball of dough in his hands.
He kneaded without being told.
The women watched him do it, and several of them nodded.
"Now," the senior baker said. "Cook. Show them."
