Directions:

 

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water with honey. Add salt, egg and oil or butter. Stir in flour. Knead on a floured surface for two-three minutes.

“Barley grain, out of the dark earth pushing towards the light, brings its fruit to maturity, so it is also with the love of God, which shall lift and guide material man out of his dark passions towards the higher moral light.” Gottfried Mayerhofer, Amalux® Quality Products © 2005
