Bread... the old fashioned way.


For those of you that know me well, know that I don't do many super 'domestic' things. I don't love to sew, I have made a quilt... once. I pretty much consider shopping at the fruit stand domestic. But, when my sister told me she learned to make bread and it was super easy and fun, let alone cheap, I decided to give it a try. With the economy the way it is I figure it would be helpful for me to at least learn how to do it, even if I never actually do it, just to know would be good. But, fortunately, I had a great time learning to make the bread with my sister and really enjoyed it... and it tasted great and REALLY was as easy as she told me it was. I have already made it twice in one week... a serious miracle. I figure if I make homemade bread Jay will just love me more, right?

Look at you go! Ryan actually makes some really yummy bread. He has the muscles for kneading though.

Yeah for YOU!! I had a roommate that gave me a really easy roll recipe and everybody in my extended family thinks i am betty crocker!!
I dare you to branch out and make scones or something!!
Also I am not really training Camden (19mo) I am training Ethan who is 3 almost 4!!!! Camden just like to copy so hopefully he will be easier!

It's a good thing we don't live below you anymore.... or you would have to make bread for me too! I can smell it baking right now... yummm!

Good for you! My mom only made bread, she never bought it. I wish that rubbed off. It was the best. If you can do that then jam is the easy part!

I just have to say Kira's bread rocks! And I'ts great that she makes it so often, some of it even reminded me of eating fresh bread in Colombia. Kira, I love you!
