The flour represents fire; it's the fire of the sun that nourished the wheat, and it's also what will give the energy that allows fermentation

The sourdough, which is obviously linked to air, because it creates a lot of bubbles, it's what will bring bubbles into the bread

The salt, which is a product of the sea, in this case, it's Guérande salt, so it's a product that comes from not far away... These are small crystals that represent the crystallization strength of the earth, the crystals of the earth

Water is fertility; it's the source of life par excellence

I eat this bread on the butt of a dead man!

I bless this batch and bread upon you
