Last night I tested the 30 minute bread recipe I'm using on Sunday. Despite my scepticism when the dough seemed rather 'wet', and the fact that the baking time was slightly too short (imo), it worked and even tasted reasonably good.
So if you fancy giving it a go you can check here. I would recommend using a little less water and baking slightly longer, but it probably varies from oven to oven and baker to baker...
Yeast, salt, wheat, oil, 'living' water... there are enough Biblical links for just about anyone there!
Have fun!
Some readers may be aware of the bread-making project that is run by some Methodists in Liverpool. I was at college with one of the folk who originally set it up, and here's a song she wrote (which we will be singing) for them:
Make bread for the table of the Lord,
Come gather all around.
Take time to learn with God,
Together we are bound.
This task of faith and trust,
Accepts us as we are;
Make bread for the table of the Lord,
Come gather all around.
Take bread to the table of the Lord,
Remembering his life.
Give thanks to Jesus Christ,
His way the truth and light.
He feeds our daily needs,
With love that never ends.
Take bread to the table of the Lord,
Remembering his life.
Break bread at the table of the Lord,
Give life to one and all.
Share food along the way
And listen for his call.
Receive and journey on,
In peace that makes us one.
Break bread at the table of the Lord,
Give life to one and all.
