Dally Bread

「Ohh, it’s inflating nicely!」

 Time passed in the blink of an eye as I discussed Earth magic with Baghdad and the dough that had been left fermenting was inflating in the bowl. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 I do a finger test by putting flour on my finger. If the hole I made with my finger doesn’t close up then the fermentation is a success.

 Taking out the dough from the bowl I press it on the table to release the gas.

 After dividing it into 8 equal portions, I shape them into balls so they will be easy to eat and let them rest again in the bowl.

 Once around 15 minutes of rest time passed, I rolled the dough with the rolling pin into circular shapes.

「Is the Dally ready?」

「Yeah, is this enough?」

 Baghdad shows me the completed Dally.

 Maybe it was because I said I was going to use it with bread that the ingredients were finer than the usual Dally and it also had less water content.

「Thank you. That looks good」

「Are you going to wrap this in the dough?」

「Un, pour a generous amount of Dally with a spoon and then seal the edges of the dough」

 After I did it to show an example of how to do it, Baghdad also followed suit and helped me make it.

 Once you seal the edges, you roll it in your hand and shape it into an elliptical shape.

 It has taken the shape of curry bread. It’s cute like omelette rice.

 Once we’re done placing the Dally into the dough, I dip them in milk and then cover them in breadcrumbs.

「I’m going to cancel the Ice magic so they can take on the second fermentation process」

「……is it impossible if you don’t do it?」

 Baghdad asks with sad eyes.

「I fully understand your feelings but it’s for the sake of making delicious food」

 I also want to maintain this comfortable temperature you know. But we don’t have an oven or fermentation machine here so there’s no other choice but to let them ferment naturally.

 I cover the dough with a damp cloth and then leave it on the counter, away from direct sunlight.

「Fortunately the fermentation will be done quickly since the temperature here is high」

 After all, the temperature here during the daytime approaches 40 degrees Celcius even if you don’t do anything. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 The temperature is ideal for fermentation so it won’t take that long.

「……I’m sweating already」

「Me too」

 The problem is that the second fermentation requires such an ideal temperature that makes it difficult for us.

 So when the cold air disappears from the room, the previously cool room becomes hot. It’s as if we’re in a sauna.

 The air in Lazerica tends to be dry so the humidity is adjusted by spraying with Water magic.

 I add oil to a pot while the second fermentation is taking place. 

「Oh, seems like the second fermentation is enough」

 When the oil had warmed up and I checked the dough, it had grown about one size larger.

 When I tried to poke it with my finger, it only left a little mark. This is just right.

 I immediately cast Ice magic, filling the inside of the kitchen with cold air.

「Haa～」

 The sweat that had been slowly building up gradually disappeared and it felt refreshing.

 When the oil’s temperature reached around 160 degrees C, I slowly added the dough that had been fermented again before.

「So fry it in oil from now on?」

「Right! The outside texture will be crispy when you fry it and its inside is more delicious」

 After frying it for about 3 minutes I flipped them over and saw that the dough had turned a beautiful golden brown color. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「That color makes it look delicious」

「Right?」

 Flipping them over and wait for about 3 minutes, and they’re all done.

「It’s done! Dally bread!」

「This looks pretty tasty already」

「I’ll call Rassha now」

「Hou, I think I came at just the right timing」

 Just as I was about to go and call Rassha, Salva, and Shanaria entered from the store’s direction. Their eyes are fixed on the freshly made Dally bread.

「Salva-sama, I hope you are doing well. I am afraid we are just about to have our meal……」

「I was able to meet with my friend who came from afar. Let us have a meal together and deepen our friendship. It is an honor to have a meal together with me, the second prince, you know?」

 This prince, in order to have the Dally bread, he exercised his authority as the prince. Is he that desperate to eat it?

「Well then, I will prepare an additional portion for you」

「O, oi! What about my portion!?」

「I was just kidding. I will also prepare for Shanaria’s share」

「……you brat」

 Realizing she had been made fun of, Shanaria glared at me but it seemed like she still wanted to eat the Dally bread since she didn’t complain any further than that.

 I left the preparation to make the Dally bread to Baghdad and called out to Rassha - who was tending to the store.

「Rassha, lunch is ready come on over」

「Come one over you say.....there are Salva-sama, Shanaria-sama, and Baghdad-sama over there, right?」

「Well, yeah」

 Salva is this country’s second prince, and I’ve heard that his bodyguard - Shanaria - is from a distinguished noble family. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Only Baghdad is not a noble, but he’s extolled as this country’s guardian deity and I heard that he hold a special position in leading the soldiers.

 From ordinary people’s perspective, those three are probably like people who are above the clouds.

 Though I said that, isolating the house owner - Rassha - alone while we borrow and use her house’s kitchen and living room as we please feel awkward.

「I do not mind. Rassha you can come here too」

「Ah, yes」

 As I hesitated on what to do,  Salva showed himself and beckoned Rassha to join us.

 When a royalty said that, the commoners had no right to refuse.

 Despite feeling nervous, Rassha also enters the inner room.

「……Al, I put them on a plate, is that okay?」

 When I returned to the kitchen, Baghdad had prepared plates for everyone and was serving the Dally bread with them.

 Perhaps he was taking the royalty - Salva - into consideration that he used wrapping paper so his hands wouldn’t get dirty.

「Un, it’s perfect. Let’s hand these to everyone and eat it」

 After making sure there are no problems, Baghdad and I bring the Dally bread to the living room.

「Do you want to increase the number of tables and chairs?」

 There is already a table and chairs in this room, but there are not enough chairs for five people to sit and eat, and the table is not big enough. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Nah, the floor will probably be fine. Eating on the floor is also a formal culture in this country」

「Okay」

 There were also many people who were sitting and eating even in Jaisal and Lazerica.

 This is part of the culture here and if Salva - the person who holds the highest status - here said so then it wouldn’t be a problem.

「Why can you talk with Salva-sama normally?」

 Seeing our exchange, Rassha asks me looking curious.

「Hmーm, cause we’re friends?」

 I tried to answer like that but Rassha only looked as if she didn’t understand what I meant by that.

 Honestly, the connection I have with the royalty is so weak, I mean, to begin with, I am not a citizen of Lazur kingdom so I don’t get the fact how great Salva is. The way we met was quite special and frank so at this point, it would be difficult to suddenly become formal and draw a clear line between us.

 Oh well, honestly, even if something were to happen I’m confident I can always Teleport and escape.

 It’s probably because of that sense of security that gives me a fearless attitude.

 After everyone sat down on the brightly colored carpet, each person got the Dally bread served.

「Hoo, so this is the food Al and Baghdad were making.....」

「It’s called Dally bread. We stuffed Dally inside the bread and fry it. Please let me know what you think of this dish」

「Hmm. Then let’s give it a taste」

 Salva raises the Dally bread and takes a bite.

「――!?Wh, what is this!? Isn’t this too good!? The rich savory taste from the Dally and the crunchy texture of the bread that spreads inside my mouth goes perfectly well together!」

「More and more Dally enters your mouth when you continue to eat, it feels like it increases your appetite」

 Salva and Shanaria raised their voices in admiration as soon as they ate the bread.

 They both seemed to really like it and ate them at a staggering speed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Eh! What is this! It’s so delicious!」

 Rassha was nervous in front of the various noble people here, but as soon as she ate the Dally bread, she let out a surprised voice.

「How is it, Baghdad?」

 I asked Baghdad, who was taking his last bite as if savoring the flavor.

「This is a great Dally dish」

「Thank you. I’m glad I got to hear that from Baghdad」

 If the leader of their family - who continues developing and improving Dally in this world - said that, then I can confidently say that I’ve made something delicious.

「……Al, would it be possible for me to serve this to my village if you don’t mind? Of course, I will pay for the recipe」

「There’s no need to pay for it. Baghdad has also taught me other Dally variation recipes after all」

「Is that so. Thank you then」

 Baghdad taught me the original curry recipe by adjusting the proportion and variety of spices. These variations were developed precisely because Baghdad has mastered the handling of spices and has worked with them for many years. Compared to the value and effort that went into making them, I doubt my reproduction of Dally bread in this world is worth that much.

「……Al, I want to eat more of this」

「Can’t be helped then. I’m going to fry more of them so wait a bit」

 As expected, Dally bread is nice when it’s freshly fried.

 The additional three portions disappeared in a moment. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
