From that, Sister Bertrille thinks that selling her bread would be a good way to raise money for the convent. Sanchez is in charge of distribution, Sister Jacqueline is in charge of advertising, and obviously Sister Sixto is in charge of mixing. But to make money, one needs money, and Sister Bertrille approaches Carlos for financing: $1,000 for a new bread oven and $160 for a ton of flour. Other problems abound when Sister Sixto isn't comfortable with mass production and there are too many chefs in the kitchen when all five sisters helping in the kitchen think that they are in charge of adding yeast to the dough, which creates the day of the growing monster bread dough. But a potential lawsuit occurs when Sister Sixto loses her ring in one of the loaves of bread. The sisters manage to get back all the unsold loaves but the ring isn't in any of them. However, Sister Jacqueline, the advertising brain, comes up with an idea: a contest where the finder of the ring will get a year's supply of bread. The sisters don't have to pay out as the ring is fortunately found by Carlos in his loaf, unfortunately by biting down on it. But they wouldn't have a year's supply to give anyway as the bread business ultimately fails: the old bread recipe did not translate well into being baked in a new modern oven and the customers hated it.
