Sweet bread

Our cook at the home, Lizzy makes some pretty good bread and this past week (since there was a national holiday on Tuesday) Tawnee and I had the opportunity to take her to Kotoku to mix up the dough. Now I've never mixed large amounts of dough in the United States but I'm guessing the machines don't look quite like this!


The man there cranked the machine to get it started while Lizzy dumped in large amounts of flour, margarine, nutmeg, salt, sugar, banana flavoring, and numerous other things. Once the dough was mixed they threw it through two rollers which would spit it back out at very high speeds.



The machine was very safe though, this belt only fell off three times while we were in there :-)

It was a fun adventure through the back roads of Kotoku which resulted in some yummy sweet bread later that day, and a good spiritual conversation with some of the Ghanaians there.
