Transcript: The Mystery of Bread
A clip shows a big house on a sunny day in a quiet neighbourhood. Next, the team appears in a room, full of old things.
Kyla places an old suitcase on a table. She is in her teens. She has long dark straight hair and wears a purple sleeveless and shiny shirt.
Kyla says NUMBER 1? I KNOW, IT'S
THE FIRST MYSTERY FILE THAT
HERMIONE EVER PUT TOGETHER.
E.B. is a teenager. He has short curly black hair and is clean-shaven. He wears a plaid blue shirt over an orange T-shirt and jeans.
E.B. says I DON'T THINK SO, 'CAUSE
THIS DOESN'T LOOK AS OLD AS
THAT ONE... OR THAT ONE...
OR EVEN THAT ONE.
Kyla says OKAY, OKAY! LET'S SEE
WHAT THE CLUES TELL US.
Kyla opens the case and there are three cans.
Tilly is in her mid-forties. She has dark brown hair down in a bun and wears a patterned shawl over her shoulders.
Tilly says OH! CHECK THIS OUT.
E.B. says YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF
LOOKS LIKE YOGURT. AWW, OKAY!
THAT DOES NOT SMELL LIKE YOGURT!
SMELL THAT.
Kyla says OH, THAT STINK
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NUMBER 1.
IT SMELLS MORE LIKE NUMBER 2, TO ME.
Tilly says THAT UNMISTAKABLE STINK
IS YEAST. IT'S A KIND OF FUNGUS
THAT EATS STARCH AND SUGAR.
I KNOW JUST A PLACE WE CAN FIND
SOME MORE. MY FAVOURITE LOCAL
BAKERY, HOF KELSTEN.
Kyla says WHAT'S THIS? IT'S JUST
AN OLD TIN OF BAKING POWDER.
LET'S SEE WHAT'S INSIDE.
Kyla takes a piece of paper out of the tin.
E.B. says HEY, WHAT'S WITH THAT
STRANGE WRITING?
Kyla says NOT SURE.
Tilly says HM...
E.B. says LET ME SEE THAT.
E.B. takes a metal scraper out of the case.
E.B reads LIBRETTO.
He continues I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS
IS, BUT ACCORDING TO OUR FIRST
TWO CLUES I HAVE A FEELING
HERMIONE WAS TRYING TO TELL US
SOMETHING ABOUT BAKING.
Tilly says READY TO INVESTIGATE?
Kyla says READY AS I'LL EVER BE.
E.B. says OH YEAH.
(Theme music plays)
A dark red background with letter prints shows the shapes of a girl and a boy in the middle. It lights up and reveals EB and Kyla smiling.
Next, the kids are in a room looking at a portrait. The image zooms in a reveals the image of a woman in her sixties with white hair and a hat.
The song plays and the lyrics go
HISTORY IS FULL OF MYSTERIES
GREAT AUNT HERMIONE
COULD BE HEARD TO SAY
The woman in her sixties unfreezes and picks up a blue shining object from the floor.
The song continues
YOU HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT CAME BEFORE
TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD TODAY
Fast clips show images of a river, a bridge at night and a fire explosion.
The song continues
SHE WAS GOING TO WRITE A BOOK
CALLED "MYSTERY FILES."
Next, pictures of dogs are followed by the woman in her sixties writing down notes on a journal.
The song continues
TO TELL WHAT SHE UNCOVERED
BUT TIME RAN OUT
NEW ADVENTURES CAME FIRST
SO SHE LEFT HER SECRETS
UNDISCOVERED
The woman in her sixties drives a car and next flies a small aircraft.
The song continues
AUNT TILLY INHERITED
HER BIG OLD HOUSE
FILLED WITH FILES AND CLUES
OF MUMMIES
SPIES AND VOYAGEURS
SCARY CREATURES TOO
Tilly stands in front of the house. She looks shocked. Next, EB checks a metal box full of objects. A mommy, a skull, and an eel appear among other objects.
The song continues
E.B. AND KYLA
WILL COME THROUGH
THEY'LL SOLVE
Kyla shows her phone screen. Tilly holds a lamp and a laptop shows the progress of file saving in a box.
The song continues
THE MYSTERY FILES
UNRAVEL ALL THE MYSTERIES
UPLOAD HIDDEN HISTORIES
THEY'LL SOLVE
EB, Kyla and Tilly pose together in a picture. The title of the show appears below in blue letters: "The Mystery Files."
The song ends
THE MYSTERY FILES.
E.B. walks down a crowded street. He uses his cell phone to film himself.
E.B. says MISSION NUMBER 1, TO FIGURE OUT
WHY HERMIONE'S LABEL WAS FILE
NUMBER 1. ALSO, WHAT IN THE WORLD
SHE'S TRYING TO TELL US ABOUT
THE MYSTERIES OF BAKING... OOH!
E.B. walks into a bakery. Jeffrey stands behind the counter. He’s in his thirties, clean-shaven with brown hair. He’s wearing a black T-shirt and a kitchen apron.
E.B. says HI, ARE YOU JEFFREY?
Jeffrey says HEY, YOU MUST BE E.B.?
E.B. says HI, NICE TO MEET YOU!
Jeffrey says NICE TO MEET YOU!
E.B. says THIS PLACE SMELLS REALLY GOOD.
Jeffrey says WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE?
E.B. says UM, SOMETHING THAT
DOESN'T SMELL REALLY GOOD.
Jeffrey says LET ME HAVE A LOOK.
MMM! SMELLS LIKE BAKER'S YEAST.
YOU WANT TO COME TO THE BACK?
I'VE GOT SOME MORE TO SHOW YOU.
E.B. says YEAH, SURE.
WHAT DO YOU USE YEAST FOR?
Jeffrey says WE USE YEAST TO MAKE
EVERYTHING IN THE BAKERY.
E.B. says WOW.
Jeffrey says SO THIS IS THE BAKERY.
E.B. says IT SMELLS EVEN BETTER IN HERE.
Jeffrey says OVER HERE, I THINK
I HAVE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
SO THIS IS OUR MOTHER STARTER.
Jeffrey uncovers a large metallic container that keeps a white liquid.
E.B. gags, Jeffrey laughs.
Jeffrey says AS YOU CAN SMELL,
IT SMELLS FRESH...
E.B. says NO.
Jeffrey says ... AND FRAGRANT.
E.B. says AND DISGUSTING!
Jeffrey says I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
DISGUSTING, BUT YOU SMELL THE
FERMENTATION. A LITTLE BIT
OF, LIKE, ALCOHOL...
E.B. says YEAH.
Jeffrey says ... OLD BEER...
E.B. says YEAH.
Jeffrey says... MAYBE SOME ROTTEN FRUIT.
E.B. says NOT TOO NICE.
Jeffrey says BUT WHEN BAKED, ALL THESE
HARSH FLAVOURS THAT YOU'RE
SMELLING, THAT YOU DON'T LIKE,
LATER ON
IN THE BREAD WILL TASTE MAGICAL.
IT TAKES ABOUT 2 WEEKS FOR IT
TO GET ACTIVE LIKE THIS, AND...
E.B. says WHAT DO YOU MEAN, ACTIVE?
Jeffrey says WELL, ACTIVE IS...
IT'S ALIVE.
E.B. says DID YOU SAY ALIVE?
Jeffrey says YEAH, IT'S ALIVE. AND
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO LIKE THIS,
IT MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BURP.
A close-up shot shows bubbles in the liquid.
Jeffrey continues AND
PRETTY MUCH IF YOU JUST LEAVE
IT, IT WILL DIE. SO, WHAT WE DO
IS: EVERY DAY WE ADD FLOUR AND
WATER AND THAT'S WHAT FEEDS IT.
E.B. says THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY COOL.
Meanwhile, Tilly receives a call from E.B. on her computer.
E.B. says HEY, AUNT TILLY!
Tilly says OH, GOOD. I JUST WANTED TO
MAKE SURE YOU WEREN'T SWALLOWED
BY A GIANT GREY YEAST MONSTER.
E.B. says OH NO!
Tilly says THEY HAVE REALLY BIG
APPETITES, YOU KNOW. THERE'S
A VERY INTERESTING HISTORY
TO THAT LIVING GREY GOO.
THE FIRST BREAD HUMANS ATE WERE
FLAT, LIKE MATZAH OR TORTILLAS.
BUT THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO,
SOMEONE MADE A REALLY GREAT
MISTAKE AND LEFT A BOWL OF DOUGH
MADE FROM FLOUR AND WATER
SITTING OUTSIDE.
She clicks and shows pictures of different types of doughs.
On the computer, a man says I GUESS I'LL JUST LEAVE
THAT THERE FOR A MINUTE.
Tilly continues A KIND OF TINY FUNGUS
CALLED YEAST LANDED IN IT.
THE YEAST STARTED EATING THE
SUGAR AND THE FLOUR, AND BURPING
OUT CARBON DIOXIDE GAS.
E.B. says EW.
Tilly continues YEAH, IT SOUNDS GROSS. BUT THE
BUBBLES LEAVE LITTLE HOLES IN
THE BREAD THAT MAKE IT LIGHT AND
FLUFFY. IT'S CALLED LEAVENING.
IN ETHIOPIA, WHEN YEAST CAN'T
STOP POPPING, WE GET INJERA.
She shows a tray containing a thin white bread.
Tilly continues A LEAVENED BREAD SO FULL OF BURP
HOLES IT LOOKS LIKE A SPONGE.
NOT ONLY IS BREAD DELICIOUS,
BUT IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST FOODS
PEOPLE MADE, AND IT CHANGED
THE WAY WE LIVED.
BEING ABLE TO BAKE BREAD MADE
PEOPLE'S LIVES A LOT EASIER
IN THE EARLIER CIVILIZATIONS.
CAN YOU GUESS WHY?
E.B. says I GUESS IT'S EASIER TO
HANG OUT AND EAT A SANDWICH FOR
AN HOUR RATHER THAN SPEND ALL
DAY HUNTING AND GATHERING FOOD.
Her computer screen shows a video of a harvester working in a field.
Tilly says EXACTLY. WHEAT DOESN'T
RUN AWAY, IT STAYS WHERE YOU
PLANT IT. AND ONCE PEOPLE
STARTED TO HANG OUT IN ONE
PLACE, THEY BUILT TOWNS AND
COMMUNITIES. SO YEAST MADE
THE BREAD RISE, AND BREAD
MADE THE BUILDINGS RISE.
As she tastes the injera, she continues THE HOLES IN THIS INJERA MAKE
IT PERFECT FOR SOAKING UP
SOUPS AND SAUCES.
MMM... IT'S THE BEST.
I ALSO CAN'T GET ENOUGH
OF MY FRIEND RAJI'S INDIAN NAAN.
DELISH!
E.B. says WELL, IF I COULD TEAR YOU
AWAY FROM YOUR LUNCH,
I WONDER IF HERMIONE WAS
TRYING TO TELL US THAT BREAD'S
THE NUMBER 1 THING THAT HELPED
FORM OUR SOCIETY?
Tilly says THE FILE LABEL DID SAY
NUMBER 1. BUT IT DOESN'T EXPLAIN
THE ODD WRITING, OR THIS.
She holds the scraper and continues I'VE GOT TO DO MORE RESEARCH.
BUT FIRST, I'LL FINISH THIS.
E.B. says GOOD IDEA. BUT MAYBE I
CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT BY
DOING A LITTLE LESS TALKING AND
A LOT MORE CHEWING, LIKE YOU.
The call ends.
On a clip, Jeffrey says SO, I MAKE 11 TYPES
OF BREADS. HERE ARE SOME
THAT I WANT YOU TO TRY.
E.B. says ALL RIGHT. MY TASTY
INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE
BREADS JEFFREY BAKES ORIGINATE
FROM ALL OVER EUROPE,
LIKE CIABATTA FROM ITALY,
EUROPEAN SOURDOUGH...
In the clip, Jeffrey makes E.B. smell a loaf of bread.
E.B. says OH, THAT JUST SMELLS...
Jeffrey says NOT BAD, EH?
E.B. says NOT BAD!
Jeffrey says ONCE YOU BAKE IT.
E.B. says GERMAN PUMPERNICKEL,
FRENCH BAGUETTE. DELICIOUS!
AND ENGLISH RAISIN BREAD.
BUT... WAIT.
THERE'S ONLY 10 PIECES
OF BREAD HERE. DIDN'T YOU SAY
THERE WERE 11?
Jeffrey says THERE IS ONE MORE BREAD THAT
WE CAN MAKE IF YOU'RE READY,
AND THAT'S MY FAVOURITE BREAD.
E.B. says OH, SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST!
Jeffrey says THE BEST FOR LAST.
E.B. says ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO!
Jeffrey says LET'S GO.
E.B. says MAYBE JEFFREY'S FAVOURITE
BREAD HOLDS THE ANSWER TO THE
MYSTERY. IT'S CALLED CHALLAH.
IT'S A TRADITIONAL JEWISH BREAD
MADE WITH LOTS
OF EGGS, AND LOTS OF YEAST.
Jeffrey says GIVE IT A LITTLE SMELL.
E.B. says I'M GOOD. I'M GOOD.
3, 2, 1... OH!
Jeffrey says THERE YOU GO.
(music plays)
Jeffrey turns on a mixer.
Jeffrey says SO NOW I TAKE THE FIRST ONE,
AND I GO OVER THE NEXT ONE,
BUT UNDER THE NEXT ONE.
AND OVER THE NEXT ONE.
HOW DOES THAT FEEL?
Now, Jeffrey stands in front of a table brading bread dough.
E.B. says IT FEELS LIKE
EDIBLE PLAY-DOUGH.
Jeffrey says GIVE IT A LITTLE TUCK,
A LITTLE SHAPE. LOOK AT THAT!
E.B. says BEAUTIFUL!
Jeffrey places a tray in an industrial oven.
E.B. says COOL.
They high-five.
Jeffrey says AWESOME. SO E.B., WHAT WERE
YOUR FAVOURITE BREADS TODAY?
E.B. says OH, IT'S HARD TO CHOOSE
JUST ONE. CAN I DO TOP 3?
Jeffrey says TOP 3.
E.B. says I REALLY LIKED THE RAISIN
BREAD. SO GOOD. TWO...
I LIKED THE FRENCH BAGUETTE. IT
WAS NICE AND SOFT IN THE MIDDLE.
Jeffrey says YEAH. CLEAN, CRISP.
E.B. says NUMBER 1 IS... WAIT, NUMBER 1!
MAYBE HERMIONE'S FILE COULD BE,
LIKE... LIKE, THE BEST BREAD?
E.B. calls Kyla. She answers the phone as she walks down the street.
E.B. says KYLA, I MIGHT HAVE
FIGURED IT OUT!
Kyla says THE LANGUAGE
ON THE PAPER IS CREE.
E.B. says HUH?
Kyla says I FIGURED OUT THAT
WHAT I THOUGHT WAS SOME KIND OF
SECRET CODE IS ACTUALLY CREE,
A FIRST NATIONS LANGUAGE.
E.B. says OH, COOL. GOOD DETECTIVE WORK!
Kyla says WHAT DID YOU FIGURE OUT?
E.B. says OH, YEAH. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT
THAT HERMIONE WAS TRYING TO TELL
US THAT BREAD WAS THE NUMBER 1 THING
THAT HELPED BUILD CIVILIZATION.
BUT NOW I'M THINKING THAT
SHE WAS TRYING TO FIND THE NUMBER 1
BEST BREAD IN THE WORLD.
Kyla says HOW DID YOU GET ALL THAT FROM
AN ICKY, STICKY JAR OF FUNGUS?
E.B. says THE ICKY, STICKY FUNGUS,
ALSO KNOWN AS YEAST, IS THE
KEY INGREDIENT IN ALL BREAD.
IT'S WHAT MAKES IT TASTE
SO YUMMY GOOD!
Kyla says IF I FOLLOW YOUR THEORY,
AND OUR NEXT CLUE IS A MAGIC TIN
OF BAKING POWDER WITH CREE
WRITING INSIDE, MAYBE I SHOULD
FIND A CREE BAKER.
E.B. says EXCELLENT IDEA.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT WEIRD TOOL?
DID AUNT TILLY FIGURE OUT
HOW THAT FITS IN?
Kyla says NO. BUT HOW ABOUT I
SAMPLE SOME YUMMY CREE BAKING
AND GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT?
E.B. says SURE THING. AND I'LL
FINISH OFF MY RESEARCH HERE,
WITH MY STOMACH.
The call ends.
Jeffrey takes out the tray and says THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL BREADS.
E.B. says DOES THIS BREAD HAVE
ANY SPECIAL MEANING, ANY SPECIAL
SENTIMENTAL VALUE TO YOU?
Jeffrey says IT'S A SYMBOL OF
JUDAISM. IT'S HAD PERSONAL
MEANING TO ME SINCE I WAS A KID.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE MEMORIES YOU
REMEMBER AT HOLIDAYS WITH YOUR
FAMILY. SO THAT ONE I WOULD
LIKE TO SHARE WITH EVERYBODY
WHO COMES HERE.
They sit at a table and get ready to try a piece of bread.
E.B. says OH...
Jeffrey says LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS WHY I CALL IT
MY NUMBER 1 BREAD.
E.B. says MMM! IT'S SO HARD
TO CHOOSE A NUMBER 1!
Kyla records herself using her cell phone.
Kyla says MISSION NUMBER 2. TO FIGURE
OUT HOW BAKING POWDER AND CREE
WRITING FIT INTO THIS MYSTERY.
SO HERE I AM AT TEA N BANNOCK,
A RESTAURANT THAT SERVES
TRADITIONAL FIRST NATIONS FOOD.
HI, I'M KYLA.
Christina stands behind a counter. She’s in her late thirties with black hair. She’s wearing a white T-shirt with black details and a black kitchen apron.
Christina says WACHIYEH, I'M CHRISTINA.
Kyla says WACHIYEH?
Christina says IT MEANS 'HELLO' IN CREE.
Kyla says OH, OKAY! WACHIYEH.
Christina smiles and says WACHIYEH.
Kyla says I'M HOPING YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT THIS MEANS. I FOUND IT IN
THIS OLD TIN OF BAKING POWDER.
Christina says OH, IT'S A RECIPE
FOR AIHKONAW, WHICH MEANS
'BANNOCK' IN CREE.
WE HAVE SOME RIGHT HERE.
Christina show Kyla a small round loaf of bread.
Kyla says OH, SO IT'S A BREAD?
Christina says YEAH, IT'S A BREAD.
E.B.'s phone rings.
Kyla says E.B., THE CREE WRITING
IS A RECIPE FOR BREAD. IT'S
CALLED BANNOCK. YOU WERE RIGHT!
IT SOUNDS LIKE HERMIONE WAS
TALKING ABOUT THE BEST BREAD.
COULD THIS BE THE NUMBER 1 BREAD?
E.B. says COULD BE!
The call ends.
Christina says IT'S DEFINITELY
MY FAVOURITE BREAD. DO YOU WANT
TO HELP ME MAKE SOME?
Kyla says SURE!
ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO!
Kyla says BANNOCK IS DEFINITELY
BREAD. IT'S MADE WITH PRETTY
MUCH THE SAME INGREDIENTS AS
OTHER BREADS, BUT IT'S BAKING
POWDER INSTEAD OF YEAST
THAT MAKES IT RISE.
Christina mixes the ingredients in a bowl.
Christina says YOU WANT TO FORM A
BALL. MAKE IT A BIG BALL. WE CAN
DIVIDE THIS INTO 2 EQUAL PARTS.
SO YOU WANT TO POP IT UPSIDE
DOWN. FLIP IT OVER, SQUISH IT
DOWN DEEP. THERE YOU GO.
Kyla says SO THAT'S IT? THAT'S BANNOCK?
Christina says THAT'S BANNOCK.
Kyla says WHERE DID
THIS RECIPE COME FROM?
Christina says WELL, HUNDREDS OF
YEARS AGO, WHEN SCOTTISH PEOPLE
CAME TO CANADA, THEY BROUGHT
ALONG BAKING POWDER AND OTHER
GOODS FOR TRADING OF FURS
AND PELTS.
An animation shows a dotted line crossing from Great Britain to Canada.
Christina continues ONCE OUR ANCESTORS
GOT BAKING POWDER, WE USED IT
TO MAKE BANNOCK, WHICH IS OUR
VERSION OF THE SCOTTISH SCONE.
Christina places the moulds in the oven.
Christina says WE'LL PLACE OUR BANNOCK
FOR 25 MINUTES.
Kyla says AND NOW WE WAIT.
Christina says NOW WE WAIT.
A dial tone rings. Tilly has a conference call with Kyla.
Kyla says HI, TILLY.
Tilly says I WAS DOING SOME
RESEARCH ON BANNOCK,
WHICH LED ME TO SCONES...
AND THEN I HAD TO HAVE SOME.
Kyla says YEAH, I FOUND THAT OUT TOO!
Tilly says HERE, LOOK.
BEFORE SCOTTISH TRADERS ARRIVED
IN CANADA, FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE
WERE ALREADY MAKING BREAD. THEY
MADE A YUMMY LOAF CALLED SAPLIL,
FROM WATER, LICHEN AND CATTAILS.
She clicks and pictures of a waterfall and animated cattails appear on her computer screen.
Tilly continues OOPS! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT AT
ALL! I WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS.
IT'S A TALL PLANT THAT GROWS
IN THE WATER.
Kyla says I'VE SEEN THOSE GROWING
IN THE POND OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD!
Tilly says YEAH, I'VE SEEN THEM TOO.
WELL, ANYWAY, WHEN THE SCOTS
SHOWED UP WITH THEIR SCONES MADE
OF WHEAT FLOUR AND BAKING
POWDER, THE FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE
THOUGHT THEY MIGHT TRY THOSE
INGREDIENTS IN THEIR BREADS, AND
MODERN BANNOCK BREAD WAS BORN.
An animation shows a sailboat next to a stretch of land where two scons sit.
Kyla says SO, HERMIONE WAS TRYING
TO TELL US THAT BANNOCK IS NUMBER 1.
Tilly says BANNOCK IS THE ONLY
BREAD AMONG ALL THE CLUES. BUT,
AS USUAL WITH HERMIONE, THINGS
ARE NEVER SO STRAIGHTFORWARD.
Kyla says I KNOW. LIKE, WHAT'S
THE PAINT SCRAPER THINGY FOR?
Tilly says E.B. CAME AND PICKED
IT UP TO DO MORE RESEARCH.
I'LL CONFERENCE HIM IN.
E.B. says HEY, GUYS!
Tilly says WHAT'S UP WITH
THE PAINT SCRAPER?
E.B. says AT FIRST, I THOUGHT
IT WAS ABOUT AN OPERA, THEN A
CHURCH, THEN A PIZZA RESTAURANT.
THOSE ARE THE 3 THINGS I FOUND
OUT WHEN I SEARCHED UP
'LIBRETTO'. BUT SINCE OUR OTHER
CLUES ARE YEAST AND BANNOCK,
I'M GOING TO START WITH
THE PIZZA RESTAURANT.
As she drinks a cup of tea, Tilly says GOOD IDEA. I'LL SEE
WHAT I CAN DIG UP ON PIZZA.
Kyla says WELL, GOOD LUCK.
IN THE MEANTIME, I'VE GOT
SOME YUMMY BANNOCK TO TRY.
I MEAN, RESEARCH!
The call ends.
Christina cuts a slice of bread and spreads some jelly on it.
Christina says HERE YOU GO, KYLA.
Kyla says THANK YOU.
THIS IS REALLY GOOD. IS THAT
WHY IT'S YOUR FAVOURITE?
Christina says YEAH, I LOVE THE
FLAVOUR AND I LOVE EVERYTHING
ABOUT IT. IT JUST REMINDS ME
OF GROWING UP AS A CHILD, AND
MY GRANDMOTHER IN THE KITCHEN,
COOKING BANNOCK.
Kyla says SO, IT'S LIKE YOU'RE
CARRYING ON A TRADITION?
Christina says YEAH, I FEEL VERY
PROUD THAT I'M CARRYING ON
MY GRANDMOTHER'S TRADITION,
AND THAT I'M GOING TO PASS IT ON
TO MY CHILDREN AS WELL.
Speaking to her cell phone, Kyla says CHRISTINA MAKES A GOOD
CASE FOR BANNOCK BEING THE NUMBER 1
BREAD, BECAUSE IT HAS A LONG
HISTORY AND REMINDS HER OF
FAMILY, BUT JEFFREY TOLD E.B.
THAT CHALLAH IS HIS FAVOURITE
FOR THE SAME REASONS. HM...
Next, Kyla stands on the street.
Kyla says SO, I DECIDED TO TAKE THIS
QUESTION TO THE STREETS.
WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER 1 BREAD?
A man wearing a checked shirt says THE PITA BREAD. THIN.
WHEN IT COMES OUT NICE AND WARM,
IT JUST MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH.
A girl says GARLIC BREAD, BECAUSE
IT HAS LOTS OF FLAVOUR.
A boy says MUFFIN.
Kyla says WHY MUFFINS?
The boy says BECAUSE THEY TASTE GOOD.
A blond woman says I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO SAY CINNAMON BUNS, BECAUSE
MY MOM WOULD ALWAYS MAKE THEM
ON CHRISTMAS, AND WE WOULD HAVE
THEM EVERY CHRISTMAS MORNING
BEFORE WE WOULD OPEN GIFTS.
Kyla says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE BREAD?
A kid says THE BAGUETTE WITH THE OLIVES
IN IT BECAUSE I LIKE OLIVES.
Kyla says YOU LIKE OLIVES?
The kid says YEAH.
Recording himself, E.B. says I'M ON THE FINAL MISSION
TO FIGURE OUT THE MYSTERY OF THE
BEST BREAD. EXCEPT, THE MORE WE
TRY TO NARROW IT DOWN, THE MORE
BREAD WE FIND THAT COULD BE NUMBER 1.
SO HOPEFULLY PIZZERIA LIBRETTO
AND THIS STRANGE TOOL WILL
FINALLY HELP ME REALIZE WHAT
HERMIONE WAS TRYING TO TELL US.
AND HERE WE ARE! LET'S DO THIS.
E.B. walks into a pizzeria.
E.B. says HI!
Rocco is in his forties, with a goatee and a shaved head. He’s wearing a black beret, matching shirt and an apron.
Rocco says HI!
E.B. says I'M E.B. NICE TO MEET YOU.
Rocco says CHEF ROCCO. NICE TO MEET YOU.
E.B. says CHEF ROCCO. LISTEN,
I'M TRYING TO SOLVE A MYSTERY
AND I WAS REALLY HOPING
YOU COULD HELP ME OUT.
Rocco says LOVE MYSTERIES.
YEAH, HOW CAN I HELP?
E.B. says DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT
THIS IS?
Rocco says MY PIZZA SPATULA! I'VE
BEEN WONDERING WHERE THAT WENT!
E.B. laughs and says WAIT, A PIZZA SPATULA?
Rocco says YEAH.
E.B. says WHAT'S THAT?
WHAT DO YOU USE IT FOR?
Rocco says WELL, IF YOU COME
WITH ME I'LL SHOW YOU.
E.B. says ALL RIGHT. COOL!
(Italian music plays)
Rocco says BACK HERE, THIS IS
WHERE ALL THE AMAZINGNESS
HAPPENS. AND THIS IS THE DOUGH.
SO, WE MAKE THE DOUGH AND ROLL
IT INTO BALLS. THEN WE LET IT
SIT FOR 3 DAYS SO IT CAN RISE
AND DEVELOP FLAVOUR.
WHEN SOMEBODY ORDERS A PIZZA,
WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL USE THE
SPATULA, AND THEN LIFT IT OUT
OF ITS TRAY. LIGHTLY FLOURED...
AND IT WILL BE READY TO STRETCH.
E.B. says SWEET.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS
IN ONE OF THESE PIZZA DOUGHS?
Rocco says THEY'RE SIMPLE...
FLOUR, WATER, SALT AND YEAST.
E.B. says WAIT, THOSE ARE THE
SAME INGREDIENTS FOR BREAD!
PIZZA'S BREAD?
Rocco says EXACTLY.
THE BASE FOR PIZZA IS BREAD.
E.B. says OH, THAT'S SO COOL!
YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME
HOW TO MAKE ONE, RIGHT?
Rocco says YEAH, SURE.
E.B. says YES!
Rocco says FIRST YOU'VE GOT
TO PUT THIS ON.
Rocco hands E.B. a striped black and white apron.
E.B. says WHAT'S THE TECHNIQUE HERE?
Rocco says SO, THE TECHNIQUE...
WE DON'T USE ROLLING PINS IN
THIS KITCHEN, SO WE JUST USE
OUR HANDS TO KNEAD THE DOUGH
AND TO STRETCH THE DOUGH.
E.B. says OKAY. NOW, WHY DON'T
YOU USE ROLLING PINS?
Rocco says I DON'T WANT TO FORCE
THE AIR OUT OF THE DOUGH. I WANT
MY FINGERS TO PRESS THE AIR INTO
THE CRUST ITSELF. I'LL SHOW YOU
THE SLAP TECHNIQUE.
SO, YOUR HAND IS UNDERNEATH.
YOUR RIGHT HAND ON TOP. AND
YOU PULL. RIGHT ON YOUR HAND.
AND YOU SLAP IT DOWN.
E.B. says OKAY. SEEMS SIMPLE
ENOUGH. SO, PULL, ON YOUR HAND
AND SLAP. PULL, AND THEN
ON MY HAND AND SLAP.
Rocco says YEAH, IT'S GOING
TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK.
E.B. says WAIT, CAN YOU SPIN
THE DOUGH IN THE AIR?
Rocco says YEAH.
E.B. says I WOULD LOVE TO SEE
YOU DO THAT. OH YEAH!
Rocco says SO YOU READY TO LIFT AND SPIN?
E.B. says OH, YEAH.
Rocco says ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE HOW YOU DO.
THAT WAS OKAY.
E.B. says WHAT? THAT WAS PERFECT,
COME ONE. I'M TRYING TO SOLVE
THE MYSTERY OF THE NUMBER 1 BEST BREAD
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?
Rocco says UH... RIGHT HERE. PIZZA BREAD.
E.B. says WHY?
Rocco says TWO REASONS, FOR ME.
PIZZA ITSELF. REALLY GOOD
COMFORT FOOD FOR ME. SECONDLY,
IT REALLY EVOKES A FAMILY MEMORY
THAT'S CLOSE TO MY HEART.
GROWING UP AS A CHILD I MADE IT
IN THE KITCHEN WITH MY MOM,
MAKING PIZZA WITH HER. SOMETIMES
IT WAS A SIMPLE CHEESE PIZZA.BUT
SHE ALWAYS MADE IT WITH LOVE.
E.B. says AW, THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
E.B.'s phone rings.
E.B. says HI, TILLY!
Tilly says WHILE YOU'VE BEEN
HAVING A PIZZA PARTY, SOME OF US
ARE HAVING A CRUMMY DAY
SLOGGING AWAY, DOING RESEARCH.
As she speaks, she eats breadcrumbs.
Tilly says BUT I MANAGED TO DIG UP
SOME INFO THAT MIGHT HELP.
IN 1889 IN NAPLES, ITALY, STREET
SELLERS PUT A FEW BASIC TOPPINGS
ON BREAD AND SOLD IT TO THE POOR
AS PIZZA. WHEN QUEEN MARGHERITA
LEARNED ABOUT THIS, SHE THOUGHT
IT SOUNDED DELICIOUS SO SHE
ASKED THE ROYAL BAKER TO MAKE
A PIZZA FOR HER, TOO.
E.B. says HE CREATED A PIZZA
FIT FOR A QUEEN!
A black and white picture of a queen appears on Tilly’s computer screen. An animation makes the queen nod.
Tilly says INDEED HE DID. IT EVEN
WOUND UP BEING NAMED AFTER HER.
THE MARGHERITA IS MADE OF
TOMATO, MOZZARELLA CHEESE
AND BASIL, THE COLORS
OF THE ITALIAN FLAG.
E.B. says HMM... VERY INTERESTING.
THANKS!
Tilly eats a slice of pizza and says MM-HM.
The call ends.
E.B. says SO, PIZZA HAS A LONG
HISTORY AND IT HELPED SHAPE
OUR SOCIETY. NOW, I THINK
WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO SOLVING
THIS THING. BUT I BETTER GO
TASTE A SLICE. YOU KNOW,
JUST TO BE SURE.
Rocco takes the pizza out of the oven.
Rocco says THERE'S THE PIZZA.
E.B. says I THINK THIS PIZZA'S
SAYING, "E.B., EAT ME."
Rocco says LET'S DO THIS.
E.B. says ALL RIGHT.
Rocco says YOU AND ME.
E.B. says MMMM. MMMM.
Subtitles read "Awesome. I can really taste the pepperoni."
Rocco says MMMM. MMMM.
Subtitles read "Me too."
E.B. says MMM-HMM.
Subtitles read "For sure."
Rocco says MMM-HMM?
Subtitles read "And the cheese?"
E.B. says MMM-HMM!
Subtitles read "Oh yeah!"
Next, E.B. interviews people on the street.
E.B. says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE
TYPE OF BREAD?
A young woman says PUMPERNICKEL.
E.B. says PUMPERNICKEL? WHAT ABOUT YOU,
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE BREAD?
A young man says CHAPATI.
E.B. says CHAPATI? WOW. WHAT ABOUT YOU,
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE BREAD?
Crickets chirp. A little girl remains silent.
E.B. says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE
TYPE OF BREAD?
A woman with long hair says IT'S NUT BREAD.
E.B. says NUT BREAD. NICE CHOICE.
A man with long black hair says THE BLACK RUSSIAN BREAD.
A man wearing sunglasses says 9 GRAIN.
E.B. says WHY 9 GRAIN?
The man wearing sunglasses says BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
A man with curly hair says TORTILLAS.
Talking to pigeons sitting on a tree, E.B. says NICE! WHAT'S YOUR
FAVOURITE TYPE OF BREAD?
The pigeons coo.
E.B. says OH, YEAH? I LIKE THAT ONE.
Back at the house, Tilly and Kyla eat pizza.
Tilly says MMM.
E.B. says YEAH, SO... WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Tilly says I'M IN TASTE HEAVEN.
E.B. says MMM. THIS BANNOCK.
OH, SO GOOD!
Kyla says AND THIS CHALLAH IS AMAZING!
E.B. says BUT WHAT'S THE NUMBER 1, THE
BEST, THE CHAMPION, THE WINNER?
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE
THE ANSWER TO THAT YET.
Tilly says AGREED. I DID SOME
RESEARCH THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE
EATING, AND THE WORDS 'COMPANY'
AND 'COMPANION' BOTH HAVE
THE WORD 'PAN' IN THEM, WHICH
IS THE OLD FRENCH FOR 'BREAD'.
A COMPANION IS A FRIEND,
A PERSON YOU BREAK BREAD WITH.
AND COMPANY IS A GROUP
THAT BREAKS BREAD TOGETHER.
E.B. says YOU KNOW, I THINK
WE STARTED BY LOOKING AT THIS
MYSTERY THE WRONG WAY. WE TRIED
TO FIND JUST ONE WINNER. YOU
SAID THAT BREAD WAS ONE OF THE
FIRST FOODS THAT PEOPLE MADE.
IT'S SUCH A BIG PART OF
SO MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES.
LIKE WE FOUND OUT, SOMEBODY'S
NUMBER 1 BREAD IS OFTEN LINKED
WITH SPECIAL MEMORIES THEY HAD
WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY.
Kyla says LIKE JEFFREY'S STORY
ABOUT CHALLAH, OR CHRISTINA'S
STORY ABOUT BANNOCK.
OR ROCCO'S ABOUT PIZZA!
Tilly says OR SCONES, BECAUSE THEY'RE
MY NEW FAVOURITE TRADITION IN
THE AFTERNOON WITH YOU GUYS.
Kyla says SO, WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN NUMBER 1.
E.B. says YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK HERMIONE WANTED
TO WRITE ABOUT THE BEST BREAD
IN EVERYONE'S HISTORY.
A portrait of Aunt Hermione hangs on the wall. She’s in her sixties. She has short white hair and wears glasses, a fitted blazer and a patterned scarf.
Tilly says MYSTERY SOLVED!
AS WELL AS FEEDING OUR BODIES,
BREAD ALSO FEEDS OUR SOULS.
SO IT FOLLOWS THAT THE NUMBER 1 BREAD
CAN BE ANY KIND, SO LONG
AS IT'S MADE WITH LOVE.
They all say AWW!
E.B. says COME HERE.
Tilly says I LOVE YOU GUYS.
They hug.
Tilly says WHO WANTS SOME BANANA BREAD
FOR DESSERT?
E.B. says ME.
Kyla says NO, ME!
E.B. says NO, ME! I WANT IT MORE!
Kyla says I WANT IT!
Tilly says WE'RE ALL GOING TO HAVE SOME.
E.B. says AWESOME.
All say MYSTERY SOLVED. POSTING
TO
THE MYSTERY FILES
WEBSITE.
A new video shows the pictures and files recorded and gathered during the episode saved in a box, on a website.
The end credits roll.

Kyla places an old suitcase on a table. She is in her teens. She has long dark straight hair and wears a purple sleeveless and shiny shirt.
Kyla says NUMBER 1? I KNOW, IT'S
THE FIRST MYSTERY FILE THAT
HERMIONE EVER PUT TOGETHER.
E.B. is a teenager. He has short curly black hair and is clean-shaven. He wears a plaid blue shirt over an orange T-shirt and jeans.
E.B. says I DON'T THINK SO, 'CAUSE
THIS DOESN'T LOOK AS OLD AS
THAT ONE... OR THAT ONE...
OR EVEN THAT ONE.
Kyla says OKAY, OKAY! LET'S SEE
WHAT THE CLUES TELL US.
Kyla opens the case and there are three cans.
Tilly is in her mid-forties. She has dark brown hair down in a bun and wears a patterned shawl over her shoulders.
Tilly says OH! CHECK THIS OUT.
E.B. says YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF
LOOKS LIKE YOGURT. AWW, OKAY!
THAT DOES NOT SMELL LIKE YOGURT!
SMELL THAT.
Kyla says OH, THAT STINK
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NUMBER 1.
IT SMELLS MORE LIKE NUMBER 2, TO ME.
Tilly says THAT UNMISTAKABLE STINK
IS YEAST. IT'S A KIND OF FUNGUS
THAT EATS STARCH AND SUGAR.
I KNOW JUST A PLACE WE CAN FIND
SOME MORE. MY FAVOURITE LOCAL
BAKERY, HOF KELSTEN.
Kyla says WHAT'S THIS? IT'S JUST
AN OLD TIN OF BAKING POWDER.
LET'S SEE WHAT'S INSIDE.
Kyla takes a piece of paper out of the tin.
E.B. says HEY, WHAT'S WITH THAT
STRANGE WRITING?
Kyla says NOT SURE.
Tilly says HM...
E.B. says LET ME SEE THAT.
E.B. takes a metal scraper out of the case.
E.B reads LIBRETTO.
He continues I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS
IS, BUT ACCORDING TO OUR FIRST
TWO CLUES I HAVE A FEELING
HERMIONE WAS TRYING TO TELL US
SOMETHING ABOUT BAKING.
Tilly says READY TO INVESTIGATE?
Kyla says READY AS I'LL EVER BE.
E.B. says OH YEAH.
(Theme music plays)
A dark red background with letter prints shows the shapes of a girl and a boy in the middle. It lights up and reveals EB and Kyla smiling.
Next, the kids are in a room looking at a portrait. The image zooms in a reveals the image of a woman in her sixties with white hair and a hat.
The song plays and the lyrics go
HISTORY IS FULL OF MYSTERIES
GREAT AUNT HERMIONE
COULD BE HEARD TO SAY
The woman in her sixties unfreezes and picks up a blue shining object from the floor.
The song continues
YOU HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT CAME BEFORE
TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD TODAY
Fast clips show images of a river, a bridge at night and a fire explosion.
The song continues
SHE WAS GOING TO WRITE A BOOK
CALLED "MYSTERY FILES."
Next, pictures of dogs are followed by the woman in her sixties writing down notes on a journal.
The song continues
TO TELL WHAT SHE UNCOVERED
BUT TIME RAN OUT
NEW ADVENTURES CAME FIRST
SO SHE LEFT HER SECRETS
UNDISCOVERED
The woman in her sixties drives a car and next flies a small aircraft.
The song continues
AUNT TILLY INHERITED
HER BIG OLD HOUSE
FILLED WITH FILES AND CLUES
OF MUMMIES
SPIES AND VOYAGEURS
SCARY CREATURES TOO
Tilly stands in front of the house. She looks shocked. Next, EB checks a metal box full of objects. A mommy, a skull, and an eel appear among other objects.
The song continues
E.B. AND KYLA
WILL COME THROUGH
THEY'LL SOLVE
Kyla shows her phone screen. Tilly holds a lamp and a laptop shows the progress of file saving in a box.
The song continues
THE MYSTERY FILES
UNRAVEL ALL THE MYSTERIES
UPLOAD HIDDEN HISTORIES
THEY'LL SOLVE
EB, Kyla and Tilly pose together in a picture. The title of the show appears below in blue letters: "The Mystery Files."
The song ends
THE MYSTERY FILES.
E.B. walks down a crowded street. He uses his cell phone to film himself.
E.B. says MISSION NUMBER 1, TO FIGURE OUT
WHY HERMIONE'S LABEL WAS FILE
NUMBER 1. ALSO, WHAT IN THE WORLD
SHE'S TRYING TO TELL US ABOUT
THE MYSTERIES OF BAKING... OOH!
E.B. walks into a bakery. Jeffrey stands behind the counter. He’s in his thirties, clean-shaven with brown hair. He’s wearing a black T-shirt and a kitchen apron.
E.B. says HI, ARE YOU JEFFREY?
Jeffrey says HEY, YOU MUST BE E.B.?
E.B. says HI, NICE TO MEET YOU!
Jeffrey says NICE TO MEET YOU!
E.B. says THIS PLACE SMELLS REALLY GOOD.
Jeffrey says WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE?
E.B. says UM, SOMETHING THAT
DOESN'T SMELL REALLY GOOD.
Jeffrey says LET ME HAVE A LOOK.
MMM! SMELLS LIKE BAKER'S YEAST.
YOU WANT TO COME TO THE BACK?
I'VE GOT SOME MORE TO SHOW YOU.
E.B. says YEAH, SURE.
WHAT DO YOU USE YEAST FOR?
Jeffrey says WE USE YEAST TO MAKE
EVERYTHING IN THE BAKERY.
E.B. says WOW.
Jeffrey says SO THIS IS THE BAKERY.
E.B. says IT SMELLS EVEN BETTER IN HERE.
Jeffrey says OVER HERE, I THINK
I HAVE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
SO THIS IS OUR MOTHER STARTER.
Jeffrey uncovers a large metallic container that keeps a white liquid.
E.B. gags, Jeffrey laughs.
Jeffrey says AS YOU CAN SMELL,
IT SMELLS FRESH...
E.B. says NO.
Jeffrey says ... AND FRAGRANT.
E.B. says AND DISGUSTING!
Jeffrey says I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
DISGUSTING, BUT YOU SMELL THE
FERMENTATION. A LITTLE BIT
OF, LIKE, ALCOHOL...
E.B. says YEAH.
Jeffrey says ... OLD BEER...
E.B. says YEAH.
Jeffrey says... MAYBE SOME ROTTEN FRUIT.
E.B. says NOT TOO NICE.
Jeffrey says BUT WHEN BAKED, ALL THESE
HARSH FLAVOURS THAT YOU'RE
SMELLING, THAT YOU DON'T LIKE,
LATER ON
IN THE BREAD WILL TASTE MAGICAL.
IT TAKES ABOUT 2 WEEKS FOR IT
TO GET ACTIVE LIKE THIS, AND...
E.B. says WHAT DO YOU MEAN, ACTIVE?
Jeffrey says WELL, ACTIVE IS...
IT'S ALIVE.
E.B. says DID YOU SAY ALIVE?
Jeffrey says YEAH, IT'S ALIVE. AND
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO LIKE THIS,
IT MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BURP.
A close-up shot shows bubbles in the liquid.
Jeffrey continues AND
PRETTY MUCH IF YOU JUST LEAVE
IT, IT WILL DIE. SO, WHAT WE DO
IS: EVERY DAY WE ADD FLOUR AND
WATER AND THAT'S WHAT FEEDS IT.
E.B. says THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY COOL.
Meanwhile, Tilly receives a call from E.B. on her computer.
E.B. says HEY, AUNT TILLY!
Tilly says OH, GOOD. I JUST WANTED TO
MAKE SURE YOU WEREN'T SWALLOWED
BY A GIANT GREY YEAST MONSTER.
E.B. says OH NO!
Tilly says THEY HAVE REALLY BIG
APPETITES, YOU KNOW. THERE'S
A VERY INTERESTING HISTORY
TO THAT LIVING GREY GOO.
THE FIRST BREAD HUMANS ATE WERE
FLAT, LIKE MATZAH OR TORTILLAS.
BUT THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO,
SOMEONE MADE A REALLY GREAT
MISTAKE AND LEFT A BOWL OF DOUGH
MADE FROM FLOUR AND WATER
SITTING OUTSIDE.
She clicks and shows pictures of different types of doughs.
On the computer, a man says I GUESS I'LL JUST LEAVE
THAT THERE FOR A MINUTE.
Tilly continues A KIND OF TINY FUNGUS
CALLED YEAST LANDED IN IT.
THE YEAST STARTED EATING THE
SUGAR AND THE FLOUR, AND BURPING
OUT CARBON DIOXIDE GAS.
E.B. says EW.
Tilly continues YEAH, IT SOUNDS GROSS. BUT THE
BUBBLES LEAVE LITTLE HOLES IN
THE BREAD THAT MAKE IT LIGHT AND
FLUFFY. IT'S CALLED LEAVENING.
IN ETHIOPIA, WHEN YEAST CAN'T
STOP POPPING, WE GET INJERA.
She shows a tray containing a thin white bread.
Tilly continues A LEAVENED BREAD SO FULL OF BURP
HOLES IT LOOKS LIKE A SPONGE.
NOT ONLY IS BREAD DELICIOUS,
BUT IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST FOODS
PEOPLE MADE, AND IT CHANGED
THE WAY WE LIVED.
BEING ABLE TO BAKE BREAD MADE
PEOPLE'S LIVES A LOT EASIER
IN THE EARLIER CIVILIZATIONS.
CAN YOU GUESS WHY?
E.B. says I GUESS IT'S EASIER TO
HANG OUT AND EAT A SANDWICH FOR
AN HOUR RATHER THAN SPEND ALL
DAY HUNTING AND GATHERING FOOD.
Her computer screen shows a video of a harvester working in a field.
Tilly says EXACTLY. WHEAT DOESN'T
RUN AWAY, IT STAYS WHERE YOU
PLANT IT. AND ONCE PEOPLE
STARTED TO HANG OUT IN ONE
PLACE, THEY BUILT TOWNS AND
COMMUNITIES. SO YEAST MADE
THE BREAD RISE, AND BREAD
MADE THE BUILDINGS RISE.
As she tastes the injera, she continues THE HOLES IN THIS INJERA MAKE
IT PERFECT FOR SOAKING UP
SOUPS AND SAUCES.
MMM... IT'S THE BEST.
I ALSO CAN'T GET ENOUGH
OF MY FRIEND RAJI'S INDIAN NAAN.
DELISH!
E.B. says WELL, IF I COULD TEAR YOU
AWAY FROM YOUR LUNCH,
I WONDER IF HERMIONE WAS
TRYING TO TELL US THAT BREAD'S
THE NUMBER 1 THING THAT HELPED
FORM OUR SOCIETY?
Tilly says THE FILE LABEL DID SAY
NUMBER 1. BUT IT DOESN'T EXPLAIN
THE ODD WRITING, OR THIS.
She holds the scraper and continues I'VE GOT TO DO MORE RESEARCH.
BUT FIRST, I'LL FINISH THIS.
E.B. says GOOD IDEA. BUT MAYBE I
CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT BY
DOING A LITTLE LESS TALKING AND
A LOT MORE CHEWING, LIKE YOU.
The call ends.
On a clip, Jeffrey says SO, I MAKE 11 TYPES
OF BREADS. HERE ARE SOME
THAT I WANT YOU TO TRY.
E.B. says ALL RIGHT. MY TASTY
INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE
BREADS JEFFREY BAKES ORIGINATE
FROM ALL OVER EUROPE,
LIKE CIABATTA FROM ITALY,
EUROPEAN SOURDOUGH...
In the clip, Jeffrey makes E.B. smell a loaf of bread.
E.B. says OH, THAT JUST SMELLS...
Jeffrey says NOT BAD, EH?
E.B. says NOT BAD!
Jeffrey says ONCE YOU BAKE IT.
E.B. says GERMAN PUMPERNICKEL,
FRENCH BAGUETTE. DELICIOUS!
AND ENGLISH RAISIN BREAD.
BUT... WAIT.
THERE'S ONLY 10 PIECES
OF BREAD HERE. DIDN'T YOU SAY
THERE WERE 11?
Jeffrey says THERE IS ONE MORE BREAD THAT
WE CAN MAKE IF YOU'RE READY,
AND THAT'S MY FAVOURITE BREAD.
E.B. says OH, SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST!
Jeffrey says THE BEST FOR LAST.
E.B. says ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO!
Jeffrey says LET'S GO.
E.B. says MAYBE JEFFREY'S FAVOURITE
BREAD HOLDS THE ANSWER TO THE
MYSTERY. IT'S CALLED CHALLAH.
IT'S A TRADITIONAL JEWISH BREAD
MADE WITH LOTS
OF EGGS, AND LOTS OF YEAST.
Jeffrey says GIVE IT A LITTLE SMELL.
E.B. says I'M GOOD. I'M GOOD.
3, 2, 1... OH!
Jeffrey says THERE YOU GO.
(music plays)
Jeffrey turns on a mixer.
Jeffrey says SO NOW I TAKE THE FIRST ONE,
AND I GO OVER THE NEXT ONE,
BUT UNDER THE NEXT ONE.
AND OVER THE NEXT ONE.
HOW DOES THAT FEEL?
Now, Jeffrey stands in front of a table brading bread dough.
E.B. says IT FEELS LIKE
EDIBLE PLAY-DOUGH.
Jeffrey says GIVE IT A LITTLE TUCK,
A LITTLE SHAPE. LOOK AT THAT!
E.B. says BEAUTIFUL!
Jeffrey places a tray in an industrial oven.
E.B. says COOL.
They high-five.
Jeffrey says AWESOME. SO E.B., WHAT WERE
YOUR FAVOURITE BREADS TODAY?
E.B. says OH, IT'S HARD TO CHOOSE
JUST ONE. CAN I DO TOP 3?
Jeffrey says TOP 3.
E.B. says I REALLY LIKED THE RAISIN
BREAD. SO GOOD. TWO...
I LIKED THE FRENCH BAGUETTE. IT
WAS NICE AND SOFT IN THE MIDDLE.
Jeffrey says YEAH. CLEAN, CRISP.
E.B. says NUMBER 1 IS... WAIT, NUMBER 1!
MAYBE HERMIONE'S FILE COULD BE,
LIKE... LIKE, THE BEST BREAD?
E.B. calls Kyla. She answers the phone as she walks down the street.
E.B. says KYLA, I MIGHT HAVE
FIGURED IT OUT!
Kyla says THE LANGUAGE
ON THE PAPER IS CREE.
E.B. says HUH?
Kyla says I FIGURED OUT THAT
WHAT I THOUGHT WAS SOME KIND OF
SECRET CODE IS ACTUALLY CREE,
A FIRST NATIONS LANGUAGE.
E.B. says OH, COOL. GOOD DETECTIVE WORK!
Kyla says WHAT DID YOU FIGURE OUT?
E.B. says OH, YEAH. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT
THAT HERMIONE WAS TRYING TO TELL
US THAT BREAD WAS THE NUMBER 1 THING
THAT HELPED BUILD CIVILIZATION.
BUT NOW I'M THINKING THAT
SHE WAS TRYING TO FIND THE NUMBER 1
BEST BREAD IN THE WORLD.
Kyla says HOW DID YOU GET ALL THAT FROM
AN ICKY, STICKY JAR OF FUNGUS?
E.B. says THE ICKY, STICKY FUNGUS,
ALSO KNOWN AS YEAST, IS THE
KEY INGREDIENT IN ALL BREAD.
IT'S WHAT MAKES IT TASTE
SO YUMMY GOOD!
Kyla says IF I FOLLOW YOUR THEORY,
AND OUR NEXT CLUE IS A MAGIC TIN
OF BAKING POWDER WITH CREE
WRITING INSIDE, MAYBE I SHOULD
FIND A CREE BAKER.
E.B. says EXCELLENT IDEA.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT WEIRD TOOL?
DID AUNT TILLY FIGURE OUT
HOW THAT FITS IN?
Kyla says NO. BUT HOW ABOUT I
SAMPLE SOME YUMMY CREE BAKING
AND GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT?
E.B. says SURE THING. AND I'LL
FINISH OFF MY RESEARCH HERE,
WITH MY STOMACH.
The call ends.
Jeffrey takes out the tray and says THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL BREADS.
E.B. says DOES THIS BREAD HAVE
ANY SPECIAL MEANING, ANY SPECIAL
SENTIMENTAL VALUE TO YOU?
Jeffrey says IT'S A SYMBOL OF
JUDAISM. IT'S HAD PERSONAL
MEANING TO ME SINCE I WAS A KID.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE MEMORIES YOU
REMEMBER AT HOLIDAYS WITH YOUR
FAMILY. SO THAT ONE I WOULD
LIKE TO SHARE WITH EVERYBODY
WHO COMES HERE.
They sit at a table and get ready to try a piece of bread.
E.B. says OH...
Jeffrey says LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS WHY I CALL IT
MY NUMBER 1 BREAD.
E.B. says MMM! IT'S SO HARD
TO CHOOSE A NUMBER 1!
Kyla records herself using her cell phone.
Kyla says MISSION NUMBER 2. TO FIGURE
OUT HOW BAKING POWDER AND CREE
WRITING FIT INTO THIS MYSTERY.
SO HERE I AM AT TEA N BANNOCK,
A RESTAURANT THAT SERVES
TRADITIONAL FIRST NATIONS FOOD.
HI, I'M KYLA.
Christina stands behind a counter. She’s in her late thirties with black hair. She’s wearing a white T-shirt with black details and a black kitchen apron.
Christina says WACHIYEH, I'M CHRISTINA.
Kyla says WACHIYEH?
Christina says IT MEANS 'HELLO' IN CREE.
Kyla says OH, OKAY! WACHIYEH.
Christina smiles and says WACHIYEH.
Kyla says I'M HOPING YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT THIS MEANS. I FOUND IT IN
THIS OLD TIN OF BAKING POWDER.
Christina says OH, IT'S A RECIPE
FOR AIHKONAW, WHICH MEANS
'BANNOCK' IN CREE.
WE HAVE SOME RIGHT HERE.
Christina show Kyla a small round loaf of bread.
Kyla says OH, SO IT'S A BREAD?
Christina says YEAH, IT'S A BREAD.
E.B.'s phone rings.
Kyla says E.B., THE CREE WRITING
IS A RECIPE FOR BREAD. IT'S
CALLED BANNOCK. YOU WERE RIGHT!
IT SOUNDS LIKE HERMIONE WAS
TALKING ABOUT THE BEST BREAD.
COULD THIS BE THE NUMBER 1 BREAD?
E.B. says COULD BE!
The call ends.
Christina says IT'S DEFINITELY
MY FAVOURITE BREAD. DO YOU WANT
TO HELP ME MAKE SOME?
Kyla says SURE!
ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO!
Kyla says BANNOCK IS DEFINITELY
BREAD. IT'S MADE WITH PRETTY
MUCH THE SAME INGREDIENTS AS
OTHER BREADS, BUT IT'S BAKING
POWDER INSTEAD OF YEAST
THAT MAKES IT RISE.
Christina mixes the ingredients in a bowl.
Christina says YOU WANT TO FORM A
BALL. MAKE IT A BIG BALL. WE CAN
DIVIDE THIS INTO 2 EQUAL PARTS.
SO YOU WANT TO POP IT UPSIDE
DOWN. FLIP IT OVER, SQUISH IT
DOWN DEEP. THERE YOU GO.
Kyla says SO THAT'S IT? THAT'S BANNOCK?
Christina says THAT'S BANNOCK.
Kyla says WHERE DID
THIS RECIPE COME FROM?
Christina says WELL, HUNDREDS OF
YEARS AGO, WHEN SCOTTISH PEOPLE
CAME TO CANADA, THEY BROUGHT
ALONG BAKING POWDER AND OTHER
GOODS FOR TRADING OF FURS
AND PELTS.
An animation shows a dotted line crossing from Great Britain to Canada.
Christina continues ONCE OUR ANCESTORS
GOT BAKING POWDER, WE USED IT
TO MAKE BANNOCK, WHICH IS OUR
VERSION OF THE SCOTTISH SCONE.
Christina places the moulds in the oven.
Christina says WE'LL PLACE OUR BANNOCK
FOR 25 MINUTES.
Kyla says AND NOW WE WAIT.
Christina says NOW WE WAIT.
A dial tone rings. Tilly has a conference call with Kyla.
Kyla says HI, TILLY.
Tilly says I WAS DOING SOME
RESEARCH ON BANNOCK,
WHICH LED ME TO SCONES...
AND THEN I HAD TO HAVE SOME.
Kyla says YEAH, I FOUND THAT OUT TOO!
Tilly says HERE, LOOK.
BEFORE SCOTTISH TRADERS ARRIVED
IN CANADA, FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE
WERE ALREADY MAKING BREAD. THEY
MADE A YUMMY LOAF CALLED SAPLIL,
FROM WATER, LICHEN AND CATTAILS.
She clicks and pictures of a waterfall and animated cattails appear on her computer screen.
Tilly continues OOPS! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT AT
ALL! I WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS.
IT'S A TALL PLANT THAT GROWS
IN THE WATER.
Kyla says I'VE SEEN THOSE GROWING
IN THE POND OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD!
Tilly says YEAH, I'VE SEEN THEM TOO.
WELL, ANYWAY, WHEN THE SCOTS
SHOWED UP WITH THEIR SCONES MADE
OF WHEAT FLOUR AND BAKING
POWDER, THE FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE
THOUGHT THEY MIGHT TRY THOSE
INGREDIENTS IN THEIR BREADS, AND
MODERN BANNOCK BREAD WAS BORN.
An animation shows a sailboat next to a stretch of land where two scons sit.
Kyla says SO, HERMIONE WAS TRYING
TO TELL US THAT BANNOCK IS NUMBER 1.
Tilly says BANNOCK IS THE ONLY
BREAD AMONG ALL THE CLUES. BUT,
AS USUAL WITH HERMIONE, THINGS
ARE NEVER SO STRAIGHTFORWARD.
Kyla says I KNOW. LIKE, WHAT'S
THE PAINT SCRAPER THINGY FOR?
Tilly says E.B. CAME AND PICKED
IT UP TO DO MORE RESEARCH.
I'LL CONFERENCE HIM IN.
E.B. says HEY, GUYS!
Tilly says WHAT'S UP WITH
THE PAINT SCRAPER?
E.B. says AT FIRST, I THOUGHT
IT WAS ABOUT AN OPERA, THEN A
CHURCH, THEN A PIZZA RESTAURANT.
THOSE ARE THE 3 THINGS I FOUND
OUT WHEN I SEARCHED UP
'LIBRETTO'. BUT SINCE OUR OTHER
CLUES ARE YEAST AND BANNOCK,
I'M GOING TO START WITH
THE PIZZA RESTAURANT.
As she drinks a cup of tea, Tilly says GOOD IDEA. I'LL SEE
WHAT I CAN DIG UP ON PIZZA.
Kyla says WELL, GOOD LUCK.
IN THE MEANTIME, I'VE GOT
SOME YUMMY BANNOCK TO TRY.
I MEAN, RESEARCH!
The call ends.
Christina cuts a slice of bread and spreads some jelly on it.
Christina says HERE YOU GO, KYLA.
Kyla says THANK YOU.
THIS IS REALLY GOOD. IS THAT
WHY IT'S YOUR FAVOURITE?
Christina says YEAH, I LOVE THE
FLAVOUR AND I LOVE EVERYTHING
ABOUT IT. IT JUST REMINDS ME
OF GROWING UP AS A CHILD, AND
MY GRANDMOTHER IN THE KITCHEN,
COOKING BANNOCK.
Kyla says SO, IT'S LIKE YOU'RE
CARRYING ON A TRADITION?
Christina says YEAH, I FEEL VERY
PROUD THAT I'M CARRYING ON
MY GRANDMOTHER'S TRADITION,
AND THAT I'M GOING TO PASS IT ON
TO MY CHILDREN AS WELL.
Speaking to her cell phone, Kyla says CHRISTINA MAKES A GOOD
CASE FOR BANNOCK BEING THE NUMBER 1
BREAD, BECAUSE IT HAS A LONG
HISTORY AND REMINDS HER OF
FAMILY, BUT JEFFREY TOLD E.B.
THAT CHALLAH IS HIS FAVOURITE
FOR THE SAME REASONS. HM...
Next, Kyla stands on the street.
Kyla says SO, I DECIDED TO TAKE THIS
QUESTION TO THE STREETS.
WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER 1 BREAD?
A man wearing a checked shirt says THE PITA BREAD. THIN.
WHEN IT COMES OUT NICE AND WARM,
IT JUST MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH.
A girl says GARLIC BREAD, BECAUSE
IT HAS LOTS OF FLAVOUR.
A boy says MUFFIN.
Kyla says WHY MUFFINS?
The boy says BECAUSE THEY TASTE GOOD.
A blond woman says I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO SAY CINNAMON BUNS, BECAUSE
MY MOM WOULD ALWAYS MAKE THEM
ON CHRISTMAS, AND WE WOULD HAVE
THEM EVERY CHRISTMAS MORNING
BEFORE WE WOULD OPEN GIFTS.
Kyla says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE BREAD?
A kid says THE BAGUETTE WITH THE OLIVES
IN IT BECAUSE I LIKE OLIVES.
Kyla says YOU LIKE OLIVES?
The kid says YEAH.
Recording himself, E.B. says I'M ON THE FINAL MISSION
TO FIGURE OUT THE MYSTERY OF THE
BEST BREAD. EXCEPT, THE MORE WE
TRY TO NARROW IT DOWN, THE MORE
BREAD WE FIND THAT COULD BE NUMBER 1.
SO HOPEFULLY PIZZERIA LIBRETTO
AND THIS STRANGE TOOL WILL
FINALLY HELP ME REALIZE WHAT
HERMIONE WAS TRYING TO TELL US.
AND HERE WE ARE! LET'S DO THIS.
E.B. walks into a pizzeria.
E.B. says HI!
Rocco is in his forties, with a goatee and a shaved head. He’s wearing a black beret, matching shirt and an apron.
Rocco says HI!
E.B. says I'M E.B. NICE TO MEET YOU.
Rocco says CHEF ROCCO. NICE TO MEET YOU.
E.B. says CHEF ROCCO. LISTEN,
I'M TRYING TO SOLVE A MYSTERY
AND I WAS REALLY HOPING
YOU COULD HELP ME OUT.
Rocco says LOVE MYSTERIES.
YEAH, HOW CAN I HELP?
E.B. says DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT
THIS IS?
Rocco says MY PIZZA SPATULA! I'VE
BEEN WONDERING WHERE THAT WENT!
E.B. laughs and says WAIT, A PIZZA SPATULA?
Rocco says YEAH.
E.B. says WHAT'S THAT?
WHAT DO YOU USE IT FOR?
Rocco says WELL, IF YOU COME
WITH ME I'LL SHOW YOU.
E.B. says ALL RIGHT. COOL!
(Italian music plays)
Rocco says BACK HERE, THIS IS
WHERE ALL THE AMAZINGNESS
HAPPENS. AND THIS IS THE DOUGH.
SO, WE MAKE THE DOUGH AND ROLL
IT INTO BALLS. THEN WE LET IT
SIT FOR 3 DAYS SO IT CAN RISE
AND DEVELOP FLAVOUR.
WHEN SOMEBODY ORDERS A PIZZA,
WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL USE THE
SPATULA, AND THEN LIFT IT OUT
OF ITS TRAY. LIGHTLY FLOURED...
AND IT WILL BE READY TO STRETCH.
E.B. says SWEET.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS
IN ONE OF THESE PIZZA DOUGHS?
Rocco says THEY'RE SIMPLE...
FLOUR, WATER, SALT AND YEAST.
E.B. says WAIT, THOSE ARE THE
SAME INGREDIENTS FOR BREAD!
PIZZA'S BREAD?
Rocco says EXACTLY.
THE BASE FOR PIZZA IS BREAD.
E.B. says OH, THAT'S SO COOL!
YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME
HOW TO MAKE ONE, RIGHT?
Rocco says YEAH, SURE.
E.B. says YES!
Rocco says FIRST YOU'VE GOT
TO PUT THIS ON.
Rocco hands E.B. a striped black and white apron.
E.B. says WHAT'S THE TECHNIQUE HERE?
Rocco says SO, THE TECHNIQUE...
WE DON'T USE ROLLING PINS IN
THIS KITCHEN, SO WE JUST USE
OUR HANDS TO KNEAD THE DOUGH
AND TO STRETCH THE DOUGH.
E.B. says OKAY. NOW, WHY DON'T
YOU USE ROLLING PINS?
Rocco says I DON'T WANT TO FORCE
THE AIR OUT OF THE DOUGH. I WANT
MY FINGERS TO PRESS THE AIR INTO
THE CRUST ITSELF. I'LL SHOW YOU
THE SLAP TECHNIQUE.
SO, YOUR HAND IS UNDERNEATH.
YOUR RIGHT HAND ON TOP. AND
YOU PULL. RIGHT ON YOUR HAND.
AND YOU SLAP IT DOWN.
E.B. says OKAY. SEEMS SIMPLE
ENOUGH. SO, PULL, ON YOUR HAND
AND SLAP. PULL, AND THEN
ON MY HAND AND SLAP.
Rocco says YEAH, IT'S GOING
TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK.
E.B. says WAIT, CAN YOU SPIN
THE DOUGH IN THE AIR?
Rocco says YEAH.
E.B. says I WOULD LOVE TO SEE
YOU DO THAT. OH YEAH!
Rocco says SO YOU READY TO LIFT AND SPIN?
E.B. says OH, YEAH.
Rocco says ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE HOW YOU DO.
THAT WAS OKAY.
E.B. says WHAT? THAT WAS PERFECT,
COME ONE. I'M TRYING TO SOLVE
THE MYSTERY OF THE NUMBER 1 BEST BREAD
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?
Rocco says UH... RIGHT HERE. PIZZA BREAD.
E.B. says WHY?
Rocco says TWO REASONS, FOR ME.
PIZZA ITSELF. REALLY GOOD
COMFORT FOOD FOR ME. SECONDLY,
IT REALLY EVOKES A FAMILY MEMORY
THAT'S CLOSE TO MY HEART.
GROWING UP AS A CHILD I MADE IT
IN THE KITCHEN WITH MY MOM,
MAKING PIZZA WITH HER. SOMETIMES
IT WAS A SIMPLE CHEESE PIZZA.BUT
SHE ALWAYS MADE IT WITH LOVE.
E.B. says AW, THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
E.B.'s phone rings.
E.B. says HI, TILLY!
Tilly says WHILE YOU'VE BEEN
HAVING A PIZZA PARTY, SOME OF US
ARE HAVING A CRUMMY DAY
SLOGGING AWAY, DOING RESEARCH.
As she speaks, she eats breadcrumbs.
Tilly says BUT I MANAGED TO DIG UP
SOME INFO THAT MIGHT HELP.
IN 1889 IN NAPLES, ITALY, STREET
SELLERS PUT A FEW BASIC TOPPINGS
ON BREAD AND SOLD IT TO THE POOR
AS PIZZA. WHEN QUEEN MARGHERITA
LEARNED ABOUT THIS, SHE THOUGHT
IT SOUNDED DELICIOUS SO SHE
ASKED THE ROYAL BAKER TO MAKE
A PIZZA FOR HER, TOO.
E.B. says HE CREATED A PIZZA
FIT FOR A QUEEN!
A black and white picture of a queen appears on Tilly’s computer screen. An animation makes the queen nod.
Tilly says INDEED HE DID. IT EVEN
WOUND UP BEING NAMED AFTER HER.
THE MARGHERITA IS MADE OF
TOMATO, MOZZARELLA CHEESE
AND BASIL, THE COLORS
OF THE ITALIAN FLAG.
E.B. says HMM... VERY INTERESTING.
THANKS!
Tilly eats a slice of pizza and says MM-HM.
The call ends.
E.B. says SO, PIZZA HAS A LONG
HISTORY AND IT HELPED SHAPE
OUR SOCIETY. NOW, I THINK
WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO SOLVING
THIS THING. BUT I BETTER GO
TASTE A SLICE. YOU KNOW,
JUST TO BE SURE.
Rocco takes the pizza out of the oven.
Rocco says THERE'S THE PIZZA.
E.B. says I THINK THIS PIZZA'S
SAYING, "E.B., EAT ME."
Rocco says LET'S DO THIS.
E.B. says ALL RIGHT.
Rocco says YOU AND ME.
E.B. says MMMM. MMMM.
Subtitles read "Awesome. I can really taste the pepperoni."
Rocco says MMMM. MMMM.
Subtitles read "Me too."
E.B. says MMM-HMM.
Subtitles read "For sure."
Rocco says MMM-HMM?
Subtitles read "And the cheese?"
E.B. says MMM-HMM!
Subtitles read "Oh yeah!"
Next, E.B. interviews people on the street.
E.B. says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE
TYPE OF BREAD?
A young woman says PUMPERNICKEL.
E.B. says PUMPERNICKEL? WHAT ABOUT YOU,
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE BREAD?
A young man says CHAPATI.
E.B. says CHAPATI? WOW. WHAT ABOUT YOU,
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE BREAD?
Crickets chirp. A little girl remains silent.
E.B. says WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE
TYPE OF BREAD?
A woman with long hair says IT'S NUT BREAD.
E.B. says NUT BREAD. NICE CHOICE.
A man with long black hair says THE BLACK RUSSIAN BREAD.
A man wearing sunglasses says 9 GRAIN.
E.B. says WHY 9 GRAIN?
The man wearing sunglasses says BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
A man with curly hair says TORTILLAS.
Talking to pigeons sitting on a tree, E.B. says NICE! WHAT'S YOUR
FAVOURITE TYPE OF BREAD?
The pigeons coo.
E.B. says OH, YEAH? I LIKE THAT ONE.
Back at the house, Tilly and Kyla eat pizza.
Tilly says MMM.
E.B. says YEAH, SO... WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Tilly says I'M IN TASTE HEAVEN.
E.B. says MMM. THIS BANNOCK.
OH, SO GOOD!
Kyla says AND THIS CHALLAH IS AMAZING!
E.B. says BUT WHAT'S THE NUMBER 1, THE
BEST, THE CHAMPION, THE WINNER?
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE
THE ANSWER TO THAT YET.
Tilly says AGREED. I DID SOME
RESEARCH THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE
EATING, AND THE WORDS 'COMPANY'
AND 'COMPANION' BOTH HAVE
THE WORD 'PAN' IN THEM, WHICH
IS THE OLD FRENCH FOR 'BREAD'.
A COMPANION IS A FRIEND,
A PERSON YOU BREAK BREAD WITH.
AND COMPANY IS A GROUP
THAT BREAKS BREAD TOGETHER.
E.B. says YOU KNOW, I THINK
WE STARTED BY LOOKING AT THIS
MYSTERY THE WRONG WAY. WE TRIED
TO FIND JUST ONE WINNER. YOU
SAID THAT BREAD WAS ONE OF THE
FIRST FOODS THAT PEOPLE MADE.
IT'S SUCH A BIG PART OF
SO MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES.
LIKE WE FOUND OUT, SOMEBODY'S
NUMBER 1 BREAD IS OFTEN LINKED
WITH SPECIAL MEMORIES THEY HAD
WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY.
Kyla says LIKE JEFFREY'S STORY
ABOUT CHALLAH, OR CHRISTINA'S
STORY ABOUT BANNOCK.
OR ROCCO'S ABOUT PIZZA!
Tilly says OR SCONES, BECAUSE THEY'RE
MY NEW FAVOURITE TRADITION IN
THE AFTERNOON WITH YOU GUYS.
Kyla says SO, WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN NUMBER 1.
E.B. says YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK HERMIONE WANTED
TO WRITE ABOUT THE BEST BREAD
IN EVERYONE'S HISTORY.
A portrait of Aunt Hermione hangs on the wall. She’s in her sixties. She has short white hair and wears glasses, a fitted blazer and a patterned scarf.
Tilly says MYSTERY SOLVED!
AS WELL AS FEEDING OUR BODIES,
BREAD ALSO FEEDS OUR SOULS.
SO IT FOLLOWS THAT THE NUMBER 1 BREAD
CAN BE ANY KIND, SO LONG
AS IT'S MADE WITH LOVE.
They all say AWW!
E.B. says COME HERE.
Tilly says I LOVE YOU GUYS.
They hug.
Tilly says WHO WANTS SOME BANANA BREAD
FOR DESSERT?
E.B. says ME.
Kyla says NO, ME!
E.B. says NO, ME! I WANT IT MORE!
Kyla says I WANT IT!
Tilly says WE'RE ALL GOING TO HAVE SOME.
E.B. says AWESOME.
All say MYSTERY SOLVED. POSTING
