Name: Light Rye Bread

Though we are all Christians together, we are all different, and the problems and the difficulties, the perplexities and the trials that we are likely to meet are in a large measure determined by the difference of temperament and of type. We are all in the same fight, of course, as we share the same common salvation, and have the same common central need. But the manifestations of the trouble vary from case to case and from person to person. There is nothing more futile, when dealing with [a] condition, than to act on the assumption that all Christians are identical in every respect. They are not, and they are not even meant to be.

INSTRUCTIONS

Makes 2 Loaves
The Cook and Kitchen Staff are continuing to offer you some of our best
recipes from "Our Daily Bread" collection during the first part of this
month. Today's recipe is our favorite light rye bread loaf, as prepared
under the supervision of the German ladies on staff.
Don't worry if you don't happen to have a couple of German ladies assisting
you in your preparation. That ingredient may be considered optional.
However, if authenticity is a perquisite to your bread making, find a
couple and put them to work sifting the flour, right now. The more you
sift, the lighter the loaf.
In a small mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast and let proof
for 10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, melted butter
or margarine, brown sugar, salt, and yeast mixture. Add sifted rye flour
and combine thoroughly. Add sifted white flour until dough is stiff enough
to be turned onto floured board.
Knead for 10 minutes, then place bread dough in a greased bowl and turn to
coat both sides. Cover and let rise until doubled. (Usually takes about an
hour.)
Punch the dough down, and form into 2 round or oblong loaves on a cookie
sheet. Let rise until doubled again.
Bake in a pre-heated 400-F degree oven for 25 minutes.
Kitchen Staff Tips: Is it done yet? Are you sure? There are two methods for
testing the doneness of yeast breads. One method is to check the color of
the bread. It should be evenly browned. Consider this a simple, visual
check. The second method is an audible test. Knock on the bottom of the
loaf with your knuckles. The loaf should sound hollow when done. If it does
not, return the bread to the pan and continue baking.

A Message from our Provider:

“Man is surrounded by the wonders of God.”

This [boredom] is why people are so prone to an addictive lifestyle. Many people who fall into sinful addictions are people who were once terminally bored. The reason why addictions are so powerful is that they tap into that place in our hearts that was made for transcendent communion and spiritual romance. These addictive habits either dull and deaden our yearnings for a satisfaction we fear we’ll never find or they provide an alternative counterfeit fulfillment that we think will bring long-term happiness, counterfeits like cocaine, overeating, illicit affairs, busyness, efficiency, image, or obsession with physical beauty. They all find their power in the inescapable yearning of the human heart to be fascinated and pleased and enthralled. Our hearts will invariably lead us either to the fleeting pleasures of addiction or to God.
