Do the Famine!!!

I know this is a food blog and about eating. But to eat you have to have money to buy food with and that's why I do the 30 Hour Famine! The 30 hour Famine is a ministry which is put on by world vision. It is a opportunity for church youth groups to raise money for starving children in Africa, Haiti, Japan, and many other suffering countries. You get to do service projects in your local community and tons of awesome contests while you raise money for kids who might get 1 meal a WEEK!!!
True Facts about Hunger!!! 
Hunger Facts

FACT: Hunger kills another child every 10 seconds.

Every day, nearly 8,000 kids under age 5 die because of hunger-related causes. Some starve. Some get sick — and their hungry bodies are just too weak to fight.

And that’s not the half of it. In all, more than 24,000 kids lose their lives each day, most of them to poverty, disease, and, yes . . . hunger.

The biggest tragedy? Almost all of these deaths are absolutely, 100% preventable.

FACT: More than 1 billion people go hungry every day.

There are more than 6 billion people on the planet. One in six will go to bed hungry tonight.

Why so many? For some families, the only food they have is whatever they can grow themselves. One drought or flood can wipe out a year’s harvest. When it does, there’s no supermarket or food bank they can turn to.

Others can barely afford food for their families, despite their best efforts. Either way, hunger is anything but yesterday’s problem. For 1 billion people, it’s a problem right now.

Cheese and Herb Bubble Loaf

I got this recipe from one of my friends. When I tried it I just had to make it!!! You should too!!! 

2 1/2-3 cups all-purpose flour
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 cup milk
1 tbsp butter
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tbsp snipped parsley
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/2 tsp dried marjoram, crushed( not the butter stuff it's a spice)

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour and yeast; set aside. In a small saucepan, heat and stir milk, 1 tbsp butter, and 1/2 tsp salt just until warm and butter almost melts. Add milk mixture to dry mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl often. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Stir in cheese and as much of remaining flour as you can.

Turn dough onto a floured surface, and knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (about 6-8 minutes). Shape dough into a ball, and place in a lightly greased bowl; turn once. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for about an hour or until dough rises to nearly double in size.

Punch dough down, and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover, and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease a 1 1/2 qt. casserole or a 9×5x3-inch loaf pan. Stir together the 1/4 cup melted butter, parsley, oregano, and marjoram. Set aside.

To shape, roll out dough on a floured surface, from center to edges, forming an 8×6-inch rectangle; cut into 48 pieces. Gently pull each portion of dough into a ball, tucking edges beneath. Roll each ball in butter mixture. Arrange balls, smooth sides up, in prepared casserole or pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes or until dough is nearly double in size.

Bake in a 375 degree oven 35-40 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped (cover loosely with foil the last 10-15 minutes of baking to prevent over browning). Remove bread from casserole or pan. Serve warm. Makes 1~2 loafs.
