Sun-dried Tomato Bread – We Love God!

Forbearance doesn't mean we tuck sin away for another time. It is not a variation of patience nor is it some Christianized, external “niceness” where you pretend nothing bothers you. It's not even a kind of ignoring the sin, in the sense of refusing to acknowledge it. In forbearance we know (or at least suspect) we have been sinned against, but we actually make a choice to overlook the offense and wipe the slate clean, extending a heart attitude of forgiveness, and treating the (apparent) sin as if it never happened. Proverbs 19:11 tells us it is a “glory to overlook an offense.” Forbearance is preemptive forgiveness, freely and genuinely bestowed.

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix together the flour, salt and easy-blend yeast. Add the margarine
and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles
breadcrumbs.  Add enough water, mixing it in with a fork, to make a
firm but soft  dough. Turn on to a floured surface and knead until
smooth, elastic  and no longer sticky.  Divide the dough into two and
shape each half into an oval loaf.  Place each loaf on a greased baking
sheet. Cut a 2.5cm (1-inch) deep  slit down the middle of each loaf and
put half the pesto sauce  ,tomatoes and olives in each slit. Dampen the
slits with water and  close by pressing the edges together, then cover
the loaves with  greased clingfilm and leave to rise in a warm place
for about 50  minutes or until doubled in size.  Preheat the oven to
Gas Mark 7/220 Ã¸C/425 Ã¸F. Uncover the bread and  bake for 35-40
minutes or until well risen and golden. When cooked  the loaf should
sound hollow when tapped on the base. Cool on a wire  rack.  Converted
