Baking bread is not something one needs to do — it’s something one loves to do.
“There is a lot of patience in making bread. The oats and honey had to soak for an hour. The yeast 10 minutes, mixing another 10 and kneading another 20 minutes. Kneading is a fairly decent exercise! My arms knotted, burned and shook with the effort, and I fear may have shorted the process by a minute or two, or four.
The full process took about four hours, yet the pride and sense of accomplishment will last until it is time to make more next week! ” — Ree

Because of a sudden excitement that stirred in my heart, I started a bread photo campaign recently called KNEAD LOVE in hopes of uniting people from all walks of life by way of… bread! Anyone is invited to contribute picture of bread — and no, you don’t need to bake it yourself (but you can if you want to!).
I would like to say a sincere THANK YOU to Ree of Ree Knitting Words With God for breaking bread with us, for sharing a slice of life, and for supporting my little project. I truly look forward to watching your baking adventures unfold on your blog through the days
