The Lord very frequently addresses us in the character of a husband… As He performs all the offices of a true and faithful husband, so He stipulates for love and conjugal chastity from us; that is, that we do not prostitute our souls to Satan… Therefore, as the purer and chaster the husband is, the more grievously is he offended when he sees his wife inclining to a rival; so the Lord, who has betrothed us to Himself in truth, declares that He burns with the hottest jealousy whenever, neglecting the purity of His holy marriage, we defile ourselves with abominable lusts, and especially when the worship of His Deity, which ought to have been most carefully kept unimpaired, is transferred to another, or adulterated with some superstition; since, in this way, we not only violate our plighted troth, but defile the nuptial couch, by giving access to adulterers.

1 1/2	ts	Salt
1 1/2	lb	Red onions, sliced very fine

INSTRUCTIONS

Stir the yeast into the water in a large mixing bowl & let stand until it
is creamy, about 10 minutes.  With a wooden spoon, stir in the olive oil
followed by the flour & salt. Knead by hand until moist & velvety. Place
dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover & let rise until doubled. Meanwhile,
saute the onions in margarine over the lowest possible heat until they are
soft & transparent, about 40 minutes.  Season with salt & pepper & sugar.
Leave to cool. When the dough has risen, turn out onto a floured board &
shape into a long log. Transfer to a greased baking sheet & join the two
ends to make a ring of 6" tp 8" diameter. Keep the hole in the centre as
open as possible. Cover & let rise till doubled. 30 minutes before baking,
preheat oven to 400F.  When the dough has risen, scoop up the onions in a
slotted spoon & pile on top of the ring. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce
the heat to 375F, brush the exposed surface with more olive oil & bake
another 15 to 20 minutes until golden & crispy. Remove & slide onto a wire
rack to cool.
