Onleven Bread
2 cups of flour
1 tea. salt
2 Tble of Crisco Shortening....
or Smaltz can be used That's rendered chicken fat.
(Smaltz: Take the skin off of a chicken along with chopped up onion and 'slow' fry it in a pan until the grease is fully formed. Drain, add salt to taste and refrigerate it. Smaltz can be used just as you would use margarine or butter.)
Now, add enough warm water to the flour mixture until it forms into a bread dough ball. Kneed it for about 10 minutes until the dough springs back when pinched. With your hands break off golf ball size dough and roll shortening around each ball. Set a bowl full of these greased balls aside for about 1/2 hour.
On top of a floured surface roll out each ball into flat round circles. Sometimes I make them very thin and poke holes into the surface. (This is matzo crackers when baked until crisp) Other times I make the dough fairly thick and bake it in a 350* oven. I have also used a hot griddle cooking the bread until each side is slightly browned. Play with the dough until you have it the way you think that you would like to eat it.
One more thing, after you cook the thin bread as soon as possible seal it into an air tight container, because they dry out quickly unless of course you want matzo crackers. Also when making Unleavened bread the Kosher way you have to make it all within 18 minutes. We often eat this bread, I love it with butter or Tahini. That's like peanut butter only made with ground up sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Understand the food we should eat
Proverbs 15:15 ...but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
In bibical times people ate foods that were for the most part, still in their natural state. A diet full of fruits, grains, vegetables, herbs, seeds, nuts and beans will give us better nutrition. Better nutrition and the Lord, will help us make it through whatever trials, and troubles that come our way.
If you listen to the Word of Yahuweh and follow a better eating pattern, then your bodies will be better able to with stand the onslot of worldly problems. Your minds and bodies will be more in tune with the will of Yahuweh, as you follow His Word for your life.
Daniel 1:12,15 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the protion of the king's meat. (Pulse is vegtables)
1 Kings 13:15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
Modern science and the medical comunities recognize fruits, vegtables and grains as being health. Modern diets with their high grease content, and convient foods tend to be lacking in proper nutrution. If we look in the Word of Yahuweh we can see in many places where the Lord would have us eat healthier diets. Always try to think before you cook a meal. Ask yourself, "Is this meal nutritious and healthy for my body? Can I fix and eat something better?"
If Yahuweh's Word about food was valid in biblical times, then it's still valid today. People can live longer, healthier and feel happier when their bodies are in the best of health. Youthfulness can be obtained by enjoying a better food life style. When we listen to the Word of Yahuweh our bodies, (mind, will and emotions) will become healther. Come strengthen your emmune system with healthier eating, as told to us by the Word of the Lord. Enjoy these recipes and better health.
