Kuka osaa sanoa, millainen oli Jeesuksen aikainen leipä?

jostain,että kiven päällä valmistettu?

rikkaammat söivät sitten vehnääkin.

The Bread

The bread that Jesus used was unleaven. Unleaven bread was used regularly through the Roman empire and was very similar to what we know as pitta bread. Pitta breads are the ready made product that is closest to the bread that was most likely used by Jesus. However, modern Pitta breads do contain yeast so are not unleaven. If you would like to break something more authentic you would have to make your own unleaven pitta breads. This is a very simple.



Here is one possible recipe;



Wholemeal Flour (one cup per standard sized pitta)

Water.

Olive oil (one tablespoon per standard sized pitta) - this is optional *

Salt (to taste) - this is optional



Put the flour into a large mixing bowl

Add the salt (if required)

Stir in the olive oil (if required)

Gradually add small amounts of water stiring until the ingredients form into a dough.

Stop adding water before the ingredients become sticky.

Shape the dough into flat ovals or circles.

Place onto a floured baking tray.

Put into the oven on a medium heat and cook until a crust forms.

Lightly brown under the grill if required.



* Olive oil was widely used at the time of Jesus and it is more than just possible that people would have added it to bread. Adding olive oil to this recipe makes the finished product less dry.

Vain pääsiäisenä syötiin hapattamatonta leipää kun Egyptistä lähtiessä tuli kiire.



Raamattu mainitsee viljalaaduista ohran ja vehnän.



Siis hapattamalla nostatettua ohra-, vehnä tai sekaleipää.
