Making bread

The water, measured, temperature checked. Just right.

Sugar, brown today, measured, stirred into water. A pool of brown liquid.

Yeast, measured, magic little life beans, added to water and sugar.

Wait. Wait.

The grains, soaked and ready. Add the yeast mixture, puffy and frothy.

Mix.

Add flour.

I’m blessed to have flour in a bag. I don’t have to grind it or work for it.

Add salt.

It makes everything better. Everything!

Kneed. Work. Push. Set aside lump.

Wait. Wait.

Work dough. Set up in loaf pans.

Wait. Wait.

Cook.

These simple ingredients transformed into life giving food.

John 6: 35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life.
Whoever comes to me will never go hungry,
and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
