See, I am not much of a rice person. I don't know why. But bread if different. Not to mention that it is one of the oldest food in the world. But how is it made?
It is said that it is made using a milling of some grains (wheat, barley, etc.) mixed with liquid (oil or water) and a leavening agent (for it to rise) the baked in a very hot stove or oven. The result is a crusty golden shell with a soft interior. It has been a staple food for many years, and in some countries it still is until today.
In the Philippines, bread is eaten every breakfast or snacks. It is not eaten as a main meal,as the staple here is rice. But me and my wife have found ways of making it part of our daily meals. We thank God for two things: for letting us buy an electric oven and for giving my wife knowledge of breadmaking.
It was a self study for her. Little by little she studied patiently on how to ferment the yeast, the measurements, the mixing of the dough, the first rising, the forming and the proofing before baking. Each one needs to be precise, and that's why we thank God for it. She was able to produce different kinds of bread, from bagels to dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, Spanish bread, etc. She was also able to sell some it. For me, this is something that I always look forward to.
I don't want to go too religious here, but isn't the bible called the Bread of Life. Imagine if we call it the rice of life, or the corn of life? Yes, bread feeds, bread heals, bread makes us full and bread gives life. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for being the Bread of Life, and for giving us our daily bread.
MAY JESUS BLESS YOU!!!
