bread making

Occasionally, bread making with yeast for leavening is nice for variety and time saving, too, although yeast is a fungus and therefore not for offering to Krishna. So on occasion it is offered to Guru Gauranga. Also it should always be taken very fresh because yeast attracts yeast when bread sits uneaten.

INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:
  1. Activate the yeast by adding it to a little warm water and a teaspoon of the sugar and let it rise in a warm place.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients together.
  3. Whisk in the melted butter or ghee until finely mixed.
  4. Add the activated yeast and then slowly add enough whey to form a dough.
  5. Knead very well.
  6. Lightly oil with ghee and then set the dough to rise covered with a damp cloth in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  7. Punch down and shape into a loaf or buns. Let rise another 45 minutes
8. Bake at 350 F for about 15 minutes or until nicely browned.


Slice cooled buns in half. Add butter; cheese; lettuce; cucumbers marinated in lemon and salt; black pepper; various sprouts, sour cream; grated green pepper, guacamole...or other favorite fillings.

Or toast and add butter, cinnamon and sugar, or cream cheese, or jam or hummus... or spread with yogurt cheese and top with sautéed cabbage.
