bread



Made some delicious bread on Monday. Super easy and natural recipe from Justin. The great thing about this bread is the ingredients: flour, salt, tiny bit of yeast, water. The dough draws the yeast from the air and the bread is cooked in a closed pot in the oven to keep the moisture in the bread. No heavy kneading either!



Remember those 1995 hair styles? I couldn't and it was 1995! Note the banana leaf in the window.



I used to make bread all the time when I was a student missionary in the Marshall Islands. This was more labour intensive, but at the same time quite satisfying. My bread turned out better than the girls' bread, which they often tried to make without oil, and which often didn't rise.

Amber has been at me for the past 8 years of our marriage to make bread; This past weekend was the second time that I conceded.
