What Moses ate in his 40 years of wilderness.

[Saul Mine]

I didn't see yeast listed in the recipe. Is this self rising flour?

The recipe for bread is flour, water, and salt. Everything else we add is for flavor, dough conditioning, or convenience. Flour naturally contains yeast spores, but they are slow acting so we buy fast acting yeast. We add sugar to feed the yeast, and maybe more sugar to make the bread sweet. Oil makes the bread seem moister. Try 1/4 cup oil with your cake recipe and see how you love it. Don't add more than 1/4 cup or it will soften to death. Shortening, lard, grease, or other fats will give different textures. Milk will feed the lactobacillus (yogurt), giving the bread a sour taste because lactobacillus produces acid. Lactobacillus is rather slow acting, days instead of hours, and that is why sourdough is such a time consuming hobby.

Wine grapes also carry their own yeast spores. Some experimenters have used grapes to leaven their bread. I can only imagine what that would be like.

moses and his people picked fresh mana every morning. I am pretty sure it wasn't Italian bread.

Hey, my mom made something similar when we were kids. We just called it Fried Bread! She fried it in bacon drippings. If was yummy but would probably kill me now!

I think they used Spelt flower and whole sprouted grains. Ezikial. I buy EZ bread. AL

The Bible says it was angel's food. I guess the same food that will sustain an angelic body will also sustain a flesh body. It must have tasted rather bland to flesh men though because they asked God for other food too and He sent them quail.

think I read it tasted like honey cakes, which doesn't sound bad

True, maybe we just like variety in our diets. I think the quail would have tasted very good. I know I like my meat too.
