I was searching for a site to explain how our bread for Eucharist was baked, and came across this one. Only in his videos he uses a mixer.
prosphora

Now that I succesfully made koliva, maybe one of these days I will attempt a prosphoro!

Alas, a-lack-a-day: my efforts to make prosphora usually turned out what resembled hockey pucks. One of my fellow parishioners asked me, in a good-natured but snarky sort of way, if they were indeed pucks or deadly weapons, and if they were the latter, did I have a permit for them. LOL

It heartens me that I have managed to concoct edible koliva.

As the Germans say, "aller Anfang ist schwer".

Well even the freshest and most succesful of prosphora loaves taste hard the next day!

Rose,

Thanks for posting the link - it's been quite a while since that site was last referenced here.

Many years,

Neil

Quite obviously, you were saving the priest the trouble of pre-petrifying it for the Presanctified Liturgies . . .

I am glad to hear I am not the only one that comes up with some crazy 'prospora'.
