Sue's Diner: Prosphora

This week's recipe is for a very easy, three-ingredient bread recipe that we make all the time at our house.

It's the same recipe that we used all the years we made the communion bread for our church, too. In the Eastern rite tradition, leavened bread is used (instead of unleavened bread) and it calls for just three ingredients.

Because the bread has no sodium (although a little salt can be added, if you prefer), it's also perfect for people on low-sodium diets. 

But the recipe also makes very good bread for everyday eating, as well. It's a dense loaf (but not heavy). It slices well and makes excellent toast. And, no, it doesn't taste flat at all.

This recipe is featured in the BryonySeries cookbook Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," . This cookbook is a permanent fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties and features all the recipes referenced in the novel Bryony. 

The cookbook makes a great gift for people of all ages who like to cook, love history, or are simply curious as to the foods people once liked to eat.

You can try the recipe for prosphora on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website. 

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone some time next week. A new recipe will take it's place.

By the way, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

Here is the full diner page: bryonyseries.com/sue-s-diner. You can't really order, of course (wouldn't it be great if you could?).
