Rafael Cuenca (Guadajoz Consumption): “Let's see, Lucia, the first thing you do, when you wake up, in the morning, what is it?”
Lucía Mbomio (a reporter of “Aqui la tierra”): “Have breakfast. And what is the name of the typical breakfast here?”
Rafael: “Miller breakfast”
Lucía: “Fantastic…..What this breakfast includes?”
Rafael: “Well, look ... it includes the typical muffin….”
Lucía: “What else it includes….?”
Rafael: “Cod ..., who likes cod, or olives .... Lacks the oil, which is in the mill ...., go for it .....”
Lucia: “Very well…Ala…, at your service, boss .... my mother .....”
………….music………….
Lucía: “Rafa: now I intuit the reason of the name "Miller breakfast" .... tell me .....”
Rafael: “Yes, because, in the past, the millers had breakfast with its oil…..”
Lucía: “With this breakfast you could hold on all day .....”
Rafael: “At least until lunchtime, of course”
Lucia: “I understand the bread, the oil and the olive; but regarding the cod, not so much .....”
Rafael: “Cod, because there is a cod industry, here, a drier of cod, one of the most important in Andalusia”
Lucía: “Well thank you very much for everything and, nothing, it has been a pleasure to have breakfast with you”
Rafael: “What's up ... you are not going to get away with murder……..now you have to make the bread that you are eating”
Lucia: “Come on…let´s go to make it…., I take it, do not ruin itself….”
….music……
Lucia: “Let´s start, if it seems well to you….”
Rafael: “First, we are going to pour salt, sugar ...., yeast mother ...., water .... and flour ….”
Lucia: “And what about the yeast?”
Rafael: “Well, halfway through the kneaded .......”
….music….
Lucia: “And how is it possible for such large bread to weigh so little?”
Rafael: “Well there it is ...., because it is a very tender mass, very much in water and it stays with that amount of eyes, that is the inside of the crumb ....”
Lucia: “What do we call eye?”
Rafael: “But, these holes, that are seen…”
………….music…………………..
Rafael: “When the dough is already done, it will be left in rest, about half an hour”
………….music…………………………
Lucia: “From what I notice, in the texture, it would have been fermented, Right?”
Rafael: “Yes, after half an hour, it has already doubled its volume ..... Now it is being chopped, each muffin ....”
Lucia: “Is this a muffin, alone?”
Rafael: “That would be a muffin”
Lucia: “Look how much it grows later .... And the form is a little crazy, , luckily for me, Right?”
Rafael: “Yes, it is a very tender mass and it is very difficult to stay all uniform ....”
Lucia: “Hey, And why is so big the muffin from Castro del Rio?”
Rafael: “Because it is a winter muffin ...., to give calories .....”
Lucia: “And now what about with this ....?”
Rafael: “In an hour and a half, this would already be doubled its volume and then it would already be in the oven .....”
Lucia: “Well, then I have finished my work. Look, Rafa, how I am, that I have become fine........”
Rafael: “But we have still lacked a detail ....., come with me .....”
Luicia: “Oh, Yes.., which one?”
Rafael: “Come with me….”
…………….music………………………..
Rafael: “This has always been a land of vine and olive .....”
Lucia: “So we have to get a couple of drinks .....”
Rafael: “We have to get a couple of drinks .....”
…….music………………
Lucia: “Now, with the wine, yes that would be complete and forceful ....., What about our bread?”
Rafael: “But yes, Lucia, here is your part ....., after twenty minutes, baked”
Lucia: “Well it is not bad ..., Right? ....., come on, I say, to be the first .......”
