Naan Tortilla Recipe

¾ cup milk

½ teaspoon salt

3 ½ Tablespoons butter

½ Tablespoon olive oil

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, unsifted and divided

On the stove or in the microwave, heat the butter and milk just until the butter is melted. Stir 2 cups flour and the salt together and add to the butter and milk mixture. Sprinkle the work surface with some of the remaining ¼ cup flour and knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth – it doesn’t need much kneading. Add extra flour if the dough is too sticky. Wrap the dough with cling wrap and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or so. Dust the work surface again with flour, cut the dough into 4 pieces, roll into balls and, then, roll out into about 1/8” thick rounds.

Heat ½ Tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat – or lower, if you have a heavy based skillet (Note #1). Place one flatbread at a time in the pan and cook for about 1 to 1 ½ minutes – it should bubble up. Flip and cook the other side, pressing down if it puffs up. There should be smallish golden brown spots on both sides. Stack the cooked tortillas and keep wrapped with a tea towel – the moisture helps soften the surface making the tortillas even more pliable. Continue to cook the remaining pieces. Optional: Brush or spray tortillas with olive oil or melted butter for a more luxurious finish. For a garlic butter version, mix minced garlic with the butter before brushing on.

Recipe Notes:

Higher heat and thinner dough equal a crispier crust. Though still pliable inside, the thin, crispy crust on the outside might crack when rolled around fillings. However, the larger dark spots on the crispier crust make the tortilla look like authentic naan – just like what you get in Indian restaurants!

The dough keeps in the refrigerator for approximately 3 days. Tip: Roll out the rounds, ready to cook, before refrigerating, but be sure to keep the rounds separated using baking paper or cling wrap. Cooked tortillas/naan keep well in the freezer.

This recipe works great with whole wheat flour, but does not work with almond flour. See note #5 for Gluen Free.

Dairy free/vegan substitutions: olive or coconut oil may be substituted for the butter and almond milk may be substituted for the dairy milk to make it dairy free/vegan.

Gluten free flour works fairly well, but you may need to use a bit of extra flour to roll it out – just add more as required. The texture is slightly different – a bit chewy – and you may not be able to roll the dough out into neat rounds.

Our memories of the Feast of Tabernacles 2019 (FOT) remain vivid, owing to the many blessings all the way around. Brethren and others came for the right reasons, to worship and serve Yahweh, which made all the difference.

Attendees came from all four ends of the U.S. in faithful obedience to Yahweh’s call to keep the seventh-month Feast. A great blessing was that our Feast facilities neared maximum capacity—a good problem to have! The most obvious need is an expansion of our parking areas. More than 65 vehicles at times vied for limited space, which we plan to remedy in the future. We also will add lights to our parking lot, which have been awaiting installation for several years.

Also included in the blessings were a total of 15 baptisms right before, during and immediately after the Feast. Those immersed traveled from their home states of Florida, California and Long Island, N.Y., to seek a new walk in Messiah. Eight of the newly immersed were welcomed into the Body at the Feast.

A popular new addition to the facility at Holts Summit was an amphitheater built by local brethren and begun only three weeks before Tabernacles. Complete with lights, sound system, ceiling fans, and two side storage rooms, it served well as a gathering for outdoor music, the Western Day, and movie night. At other times of the year it will be used as a garage for the ministry vehicle as well as storage, which we have needed for many years.

The commercial Hobart dishwasher was a real time saver for the ladies, who were happy to have had it ready for the Feast. The kitchen remodeling continues and we thank those who contributed toward this project.

Yet another addition for future Feasts is a used Snoopy bounce house just purchased locally. The little ones should have a great time bouncing off energy as Snoopy nods up and down with their movements.

We pray you will be making plans now to keep Yahweh’s commanded days in 2020. Don’t let the Adversary deter you. YRM itself was tested with numerous equipment breakdowns right after the Feast. We dealt with major failures of key electronic equipment, computers, plumbing leaks and an AC unit. But no matter how hard the test, Yahweh provided a way to resolve each problem. (A gifted sister in the faith worked diligently for days to restore the electronics, saving us many thousands of dollars.) He will do the same for you when you are tried, provided you don’t give in to the Evil One. Blessings in Yahweh.

What did Yahshua mean when he stated in John 10:30, “I and my Father are one”?

A. One in person
B. One in goal
C. One in mind
D.Both B and C

In John 10:30, Yahshua referred to Himself and His Father as being one in mind and goal, not one in person. The Restoration Study Bible further explains, “By being ‘one,’ Yahshua refers to their singleness of mind and purpose. It is this same spiritual unification that all people can have with the Father in Messiah Yahshua. See John 17:21, where Yahshua speaks of this uniting of the faithful in their belief as one, but not as the same individual in physical form” (note on John 10:30).

Feast of Tabernacles 2019 Review

“It was the best Feast of Tabernacles I have ever observed, and I have kept many.” This comment was echoed repeatedly from the 200+ who came to Holts Summit for the Feast of 2019. The eight-day observance was a flurry of activities, including: in-depth messages, workshops, sacred music and movies at the new amphitheater, youth classes, campfires, gymnasium sports, outings, Western extravaganza, delicious meals, and great fellowship. First-time attendees found the brethren friendly, engaging, helpful, and a spiritual blessing that only Yahweh’s people can be.

Here are some of the remarks left in the comment box:

* “This has been the most uplifting time I have ever had. The organization has a down-to-earth feeling and it was pure spiritual enjoyment. The education in Yahweh and His divine way for us has drawn me and my family ever closer to Him.”

* “It was a joy to be here. We loved the feast and enjoyed the stay at the room and interacting with others.”

* “Appreciate the children’s class for my little guy. I love that he can have an age-appropriate experience with learning about the Bible.”

* “I never go hungry. The salad bar was amazing.”

* “Great messages from the speakers. I enjoyed the variety.”

* “Our first few days this past week and we had such an amazing time. Learned so much and made such amazing friends! Learned the Hebrew aleph-bet. Learned how to tie different ways for head coverings, sang songs, camped, ate, cooked, watched movies, and more! We also learned some Hebrew dances, the men cooked an amazing barbecue, and many of the young ones and others shared their talents of music and singing one night. We honestly didn’t want to come home.”

* “The music was uplifting and wonderful to sing along with.”

* “Thank you for all you do in making each Feast better than the one before.”

* “I just spent seven days with the purest, happiest, and holiest families I’ve ever met, and can tell you it’s not an act. …Yahweh is calling His children and He seems to be sending the best of the best to the Assemblies like ours. Makes me feel blessed to enjoy worship in such an atmosphere….All the questions I grew up asking have now been answered…” (post-Feast thoughts)

We will have more reporting on the Feast of Tabernacles 2019 in future newsletters. Our prayer is that you will be with us for all of Yahweh’s commanded Feasts in 2020.

What is the best criterion for determining who is a true Believer?
A – They are filled with the Holy Spirit.
B – They do the will of Yahweh.
C – They have a deep, consistent devotional life.
D – They manifest signs and wonders.

In seeming anticipation of this confused age, Yahshua makes a special point to answer the question, “Who is my brother?” In Matthew 12:48-50 and Luke 8:21 He declares that it is those who hear the Word of Yahweh and do His will. They put it into practice.

Answer: B.

In prayer, the only way up is down.
