Well, he’d seen this done a million times (and on a much larger scale). How hard could it be to figure it out himself?
Juno was trying to bake himself some simple bread. He had a large store of flour in his wagon, and the owner of the bakery in Oba had given him a big clay pot as a goodbye gift. The pot worked like a very simple oven. It had a round bottom, which you placed and balanced right on the fire. Then, when the walls inside were hot enough, all you had to do was take a flattened bit of dough and stick it to the sides. When the bread was ready, it would be a nice golden colour, and it would peel away easily from the wall if you hooked it with a fork.
Well, the oven seemed plenty hot enough, and he had his dough all mixed up into six flat pancakes. One by one, he took a piece of dough and slapped it up against the side of the pot. Each one stuck, just like it was supposed to! Despite the uncomfortable heat of the fire, he peered inside and watched closely as the dough bubbled and baked. Then, just as the edges started to brown, he reached in with a cooking-fork and pulled the baked flatbreads out. To his surprise, he actually managed to keep them all from burning!
He ended up with a stack of almost-perfect flatbreads beside him. They were a little oddly-shaped, but they were soft, fluffy and delicious. He ate two of them right then and there, and decided to save the others for breakfast and lunch the next day. It was a promising enough start… if he kept up like this, he’d start feeling like a proper nomad in no time (instead of the clueless wanderer he’d been as a kid).
