You could spend an entire day reading verses with mention of bread. In an on-line concordance I quickly tired after seeing that the word bread occurs sixty times before the book of Leviticus. Below, I've copied some great verses which reference bread. Read below or open up your bible but I warn you, reading the word bread so many times can make a girl hungry. While you're at it, I suggest you whip up some of the Pioneer Woman's Apple Dumplings made with Mountain Dew. They'll be your reading companion. Your family will love them too. We had them for dessert just this week. I've made this over the years and this is a delectable dessert I'll never tire of. Here's the recipe:
