  • Peace Bread Baked

    Peace Bread, from the kitchen of Christine Goines

    Serves: 16 (eight loaves, split down the middle for sharing)

    Prep Time: 25 min

    Cooking Time: 30-35 min

    I usually share this with: Coworkers and church members, especially at meetings 

    When/where this dish is enjoyed: At work, at church, and at home

    When Christine Goines received a message to bake some bread just two and a half hours before a church meeting, she had no idea she would start a tradition, not just at her church, but in her job as a school bus driver. Her Peace Bread - small loaves of lemony sweet pound cake, split down the middle for sharing - has brought hundreds of community members together.
