Ember Days are special occasions when the church is invited to pray for all those preparing for a life in ministry. If you yourself are preparing for a life in ministry, and by chance you have picked the ordained kind, Ember Days seem like they should be a chance for everyone to dote on you. Nope! Instead, they are a chance for you to do a little extra work.
Nonetheless, for both spiritual and practical reasons, Ember Day letters are worth taking seriously. From a spiritual standpoint, they are a chance to pause and reflect on how God is working in your life. On the practical side, they are a chance to demonstrate both your spiritual maturity and your writing ability to your bishop, who will surely be sharing her impressions of you with your future employers.

An addendum to the formation update: optional but always enjoyable! What books, essays, articles, or devotionals have captured your interest lately? How did you come across them? What did you learn from them that was unexpected or surprising? You can learn a lot about a person from how they think about what they read.
I've taken my very best Challah Bread recipe and turned it into mini knotted Challah Rolls. Perfect for sandwiches and your bread basket! The interior of this challah is light and airy with a golden crust. Learn how to braid challah into rolls like a pro with this recipe and technique. Yields 10 rolls.
This technique produces softer yeast breads. Which is exactly what we want in a challah. But we can enjoy the softer bread and have fun with making it a beautiful design too, like in this braided Round Challah.
And now I've adapted this recipe into challah rolls which are perfect for the dinner table or for stacking high with your favorite sandwich meat/filling. If you are looking for super quick and easy rolls for weeknight dinner, try One Hour Dinner Rolls.
Repeat with remaining portions of dough. Place gently on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and allow to proof for about 3 hours, or until the dough does not spring back fully when gently pressed with your knuckle.
Yes! I would recommend adding the raisins in towards the end of the 9 minute kneading at the end of step 2. Add about - 1 cup (118 - 158 grams) of raisins into the dough and continue kneading until well incorporated. Continue with the recipe as written.
Hi Kim, thanks for the recipe! Is it necessary for the second rise to be a whole 3 hours? Seems quite long while most other bread recipes call for a 1 hour second rise. Would like to try making these in the morning for baking at noon!
You can certainly try speeding up the second proof. Try using a proofing box or placing in the oven with the light on. This could help speed it up a bit. Every time I've made this recipe, I've had to proof for the full 3 hours. I hope it works out for you! Please let me know so I can share that with others.
Hi Caroline! Another reader asked this previously and sought out an answer from an expert at King Arthur who advised not to freeze unbaked dough and instead bake the challah, wrap it and freeze after it's been baked. Once defrosting, heat it through at 350F (180C) for 5 minutes. I'd give that a try!
I will try freezing the rolls. When I froze already-sliced (or torn-into) bread, then thawed a chunk the next time, my husband said it was stale. (The nerve of some guys!) Because they're individual rolls, it should work better. (I remember a frozen bread dough my mom used to buy, so that is why I got this idea.)
A side note: the recipe said to expect a stiff and dry dough. Although I measured my King Arthur Bread Flour by weight, my dough was very soft and sticky. Not sure what I didn't do right, but will carefully measure everything the next time, too. I was still able to shape it, but the baked product BARELY looked "knotted."
I am making these a second time and have loved them so far. When mixing the flour paste with the eggs and water, should the paste be left to cool? I tried mixing it with very cool water first because I was worried about scrambling the eggs, but I'm just curious if I'm being overly cautious. Thanks!
Thank-you for this recipe! My husband has these egg buns that he loves from a European grocery store, but the bakery that made them went out of business, and the buns that replaced them were more of a brioche style bun. So I've been on the hunt for a recipe, and thought maybe a challah bread would be more along the lines of what he remembered. When I made these he said if he didn't know I'd made them, he wouldn't have known they were anything other than the ones he's loved since he was a kid. So these are going to be on frequent rotation at my house now - and they aren't too hard to make so all the better!
I would like to make just TWO "fresh baked" rolls at a time for Shabbat, so I am hoping that I can FREEZE the dough (on 8 of them) after I've shaped them. Have you tried this? Suggestions? I can't wait to try these!
Hi Julie! I have not tried freezing the dough, however, another reader shared on my Challah post that she had called the King Arthur Baking helpline and they advised her not to freeze the dough, but instead bake the challah, allow the rolls to cool completely then freeze them (wrapped well in plastic wrap). And after defrosting heat the rolls through at 350F (180C) for 5 minutes. I hope that works for you!
Looking forward to making these for Thanksgiving next week. Your instructions are great and I appreciate the commentary here too! Question: have you, or anyone else, tried doing the first prove overnight in the refrigerator? And then shaping them the next day and doing the second rise as per normal. If not, I may give it a whirl anyway and will report back! But thought I would ask first. Cheers!
I've only tried the 2nd rise in the fridge, after it's been shaped. I certainly think you can try the 1st proof in the fridge. It likely won't rise as much, but the flavor will be more developed. Let me know how it works!
I have made these rolls once and they came out well - nice and fluffy. I want to make them again, but will use the metric measurements. When I click to see the metric measurements, I don't see the bread flour and yeast listed in grams but only in cups and teaspoons.

This post will go into detail about each step in the process of making kombucha. For succinct instructions, scroll to the bottom where a recipe card lays out the basics of making homemade kombucha. The general order of things goes something like this (you can jump around this tutorial by clicking the links below):
All in all, I would have earned at least $1 million since then. And assuming Mrs. Money Mustache had kept working, she would have earned close to that amount as well. $2 million before tax, which would have gone straight to the bottom line and compounded since income from investments was already covering our expenses as of late 2005. In short, as we added that income to our existing savings, we would be ridiculously wealthy by this point.
But yet many of these coworkers, most of whom are older than me and were already working before my career, continued throughout my career, and are still doing it seven years and counting after my career, still somehow need to work, according to their own accounting. Some people in this situation are even living from paycheck to paycheck.
Quite accidentally, this group of coworkers has formed a nice control group for the study of Mustachianism. They have a wide variety of incomes, but all live in the same area, so the base cost of living and the tax rates are held constant. But one participant in the study tweaked only one variable while leaving the rest unchanged: the spending rate.
Somehow, Mr. Money Mustache maintained an outwardly-normal appearance among this peer group, showing up at work in acceptable clothing, achieving similar job performance, earning an average amount, and participating in all the usual social activities, yet adjusted his spending downwards enough to make a drastic difference in his financial outcome. How could it be?
Giving out that book was very thoughtful of you. I wish someone gave me that book when I just graduated college. Though I never spent beyond my means. I spent nearly all of my income on vacations (4x a year), eating out (everyday), and shopping.
The statistical probability of pregnancy in each fertile window is 20%, so if a condom decreases your statistical risk by a minimum 80%, the chance of pregnancy in that window is down to 4%. Most rates are calculated over 1 year of use and many doctors recommend a second method of birth control in addition to condoms. It is way better than nothing.
As for the pill, if taken every day, its yearly failure rate is 1-3%. After the first month of completed meds, pills can occasionally be missed (and doubled). It takes planning and commitment, which are also characteristics necessary for successful NFP. NFP requires a huge amount of self control also because the most fertile window you have to avoid is, sensibly, the time where the sex drive peaks.
We just do the math on where we are getting our calories. Filling the belly entirely with shrimp and lobster from whole foods for every meal yields a different result than getting your organic food from Costco and eating a slightly more vegetarian diet.
I am a twenty-something just getting started with little savings, few assets and no debt. I moved across the country to a rural location for a job that essentially doubles my salary and pays for my living expenses and allows me to travel for fun multiple times per year.
You are probably already running your spending ship pretty well. Your behavior must then be contrasted with the typical person who doubles his salary, who uses it to increase his Audi rate rather than increasing his savings rate at all.
