Bible Recipe

With Vol. 3 of her popular Jesus Series, Living the Call of God, Barbara Garro suggests a new approach to giving glory to God through service. You love God so much, you long to do things that please Him. When you understand you can use your talents to serve your way, when and where you like, you feel more confident serving. Garro says, “God is happy to show you the way to service every day when you ask Him for guidance in your daily prayer time.”

Challah Bread With Poppy Seeds And Lemon

(2 loaves)

- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup finger warm water
- 25 g of fresh yeast
- 1/2 tsp saffron
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 cups sifted wheat flour

Heat eggs, milk and olive oil until finger warm. Dissolve the yeast in finger warm water in a large bowl, add saffron and poor in the milk-egg-oil. Mix sifted flour, sugar and salt and make into a dough. On a floured surface knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Put in a greased bowl and cover with cloth, the surface of the dow should be slightly glossy. Turn on oven at 190 °C and let dough sit close so it gets warm (not hot!). After about 45 minutes it should have doubled in size. On a floured surface divide the dow into 6 equal sized pieces and knead, then make 6 rolls of about 30 cm length. On a greased baking tray make two braided loaves, pinsel with egg yolk - sprinkle poppy seeds and lemon juice on top. Bake in oven for about 30 minutes until lightly brown.
