Fertility Bread - Step 1

Breads seem to be one of the staple foods of Pagan and Wiccan rituals. If you can tie your break baking into the theme of the Sabbat, even better. In this recipe, I've taken an uncooked loaf of bread (available in the refrigerated section of your grocery) and turned it into a phallus.

To make your fertility bread, you'll need the following:

  • 1 loaf refrigerated bread dough
  • Melted butter

The phallus bread, naturally, represents the male. He is the horned god, the lord of the forest, the Oak King, Pan. To make the phallus, use one of your refrigerated tubes of dough. Cut the dough into three pieces as shown by the lines in Figure 1. The longest piece is, of course, the shaft of the phallus. Use the two small pieces to form the testes, and place them at the bottom of the shaft (see Figure 2). Use your imagination to shape the shaft into a penis-like shape.
