My former mother-in-law sent me this recipe and the accompanying story. At age 90, Brother Boniface has baked more than his share of bread. For 27 years the German-born monk was the cook for Mepkin Abbey, a Trappist monastery near Charleston, South Carolina. Read more He explains that his 27 brothers performed physical labor and needed hearty meals. Brother Boniface still bakes up to two dozen loaves of bread a day for the community. He explains, "They need to have good bread, not the stuff you buy from the store." See less
