Bread Making

Wow! It been busy around here! :) So much to learn and do! Not only for the children but also for me! We don't eat a lot of bread around here but the other day I took dinner to some friends and we baked bread to send along! 

 I used an old favorite recipe using some whole wheat and some white flour. 

It really does taste wonderful! :) 

 I'll include the recipe and if you feel like it, give it a go! :)

Honey Wheat Bread

1 cup warm water

1 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp yeast

2 Tbsp salt

2 Tbsp brown sugar (optional)

1 egg

3 cups Whole Wheat flour

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup honey

4 cups warm water

10 to 11 cups unbleached white flour

Put the 1 cup water, sugar and yeast in a lg bowl and let set til bubbly. (10min)

Add all but the white flour and mix well. 

Add the white flour and knead well.

 Oil the bowl, put the bread in and turn dough to coat.

Let rise til double in size. Divide into loaves or buns.

Let rise til just above the pans. 

Bake in a preheated 350* oven til nicely browned.

We made Hamsters out of our rolls since the family receiving them was a young couple with three small children! :) We figured they would like that.
