Dutch Oven Rustic Bread: An Abundance Spell

I'm finally letting you in on one of my favorite spell recipes. And I mean favorite. I bake this every week.

Why is it my favorite, you may ask? First, it's delicious (the most important thing for my spells), and second, it is easy. It's so easy, with few ingredients, and it's almost impossible to mess up (I say nearly as I have messed up the rising process with the yeast before). But finally, its basis of an abundance spell makes it very versatile.

Abundance is an excellent basis of energy to work with because you can focus on abundance in general and specify. What do you want an abundance of? Money? Love? Health? You name it.

That's what is so genius about making an abundance spell out of bread. Want abundant prosperity? Make some cinnamon sugar toast. Want abundant protection? Add some rosemary to make rosemary bread.

So, without further ado, here is the holy grail of spell recipes.

Ingredients and Their Magickal Properties - Kitchen Magick

As I always mention in my recipe posts, the purpose of what I do as a kitchen witch relies on knowledge and intention.

Yes, this recipe will still taste delicious without transforming it into a spell. However, knowing your ingredients is essential to utilize this recipe to help change your mind, body, and spirit.

Below is a list of each added ingredient and its extraordinary power for this recipe. Please note that this is not every magickal benefit of this plant or herb, just the areas I believe should be focused on for this specific recipe.

Salt

As always, we must add our salt to ensure our recipe tastes good and cleanse our way for the spell work. The last thing you need when spell crafting is to have blockages or negative energies.

Whether that energy could be something you're holding on to or an outside influence, we can tap into salts' strong purifying powers.

We first pave the way by removing the negative to bring positive energy. It's a simple concept but one of great power. This is why I try to add one purifying ingredient into all of my workings, as you're just increasing the power and success of your spell.

Magickal Powers: purification, grounding.

Wheat - Flour

Wheat has been used as worship for abundance for centuries. A good harvest was considered a foreshadowing of a year of good fortune. I.e., an abundant harvest = an abundant year.

And here, coincidentally, our most abundant ingredient is also the basis for our abundance spell.

Note: Whole wheat will be better for your spell and diet if available as other flours have been further processed, removing magickal energy and vitamins and minerals. I use Bob's Red Mill.

Magickal Powers: Abundance, Community, Prosperity

How to Implement Magick into the Recipe

*When adding your ingredients, remember to focus on the intention of the ingredient while working with it. (I.E., when folding in your flour, focus on the intention of abundance.

Not just the idea, but how does it make you feel? How does having these things in your life manifest?

I also recommend using the intentional stirring and speaking method to add to this spell. Stir counterclockwise for energies that need to be removed and clockwise for energies you wish to implement while speaking your incantations (or intention) out loud.

For example, I would stir clockwise when adding the vanilla while speaking to the pot.

Spirit of wheat, bless this dish with abundance.

I recommend also consecrating via an incantation when the recipe is all said and done. Although I always recommend creating your own, as spells tend to be more powerful, you can also use the incantation below:

Through this dish, I bring in the blessings of abundance. May the universe bring those who consume this dish a life that is filled to abundance with all things that are good for them, mind body and spirit. So as it's been, so as it is, so as it may be.

Ingredients

Dough

• One individual package of dry yeast (or 1 1/2 tsp)

• 1 tsp sugar

• 1 1/4 cup warm water, around 110 - 115 degrees F

• 1 1/4 tsp salt

• 3 1/4 cups flour

• Any additional herbs or spices you wish to add, optional

Directions

1. Combine sugar, yeast, and warm water in a bowl and sit for about 5 minutes (to help the yeast activate).

2. Add in salt (spirit of salt, bless this dish with purification. May you remove any energies not serving of abundance.) Add in any spices or herbs you wish to add at this point.

3. Add in flour, one cup at a time. (Spirit of wheat, bless this dish with abundance.)

4. Knead until the dough comes together. It will still be sticky at this point.

5. Transfer the dough to your lightly floured Dutch oven and cover with a towel. Let rise for 2 hours.

6. Gently form the dough into a ball and sprinkle the top with additional flour. Cover the bowl and let rise for an additional 45 minutes.

7. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

8. Score the top of the bread (i.e., slash the dough with a blade or shape knife).

9. Bake breast with lid on for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the cover and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

10. Remove the bread from the oven and brush the top with butter while still warm.

(Through this dish, I bring in the blessings of abundance. May the universe bring those who consume this dish a life that is filled with abundance with all things that are good for them, mind, body, and spirit. So as it's been, so as it is, so as it may be.)
