Yesterday’s adventure in bread making was a great success.  Both my kids and my daughter’s friend participated in the process and we had a lot of fun.  Everything went so smoothly; I’m inclined to try it again some time.  My daughter’s friend especially enjoyed herself.  She had never baked from scratch before and learned all kinds of things.  We also included a brief science lessons on yeast and how the whole baking process works.  Then we ventured into a history discussion of how our foremothers had to bake everything form scratch and what that must have been like.  The only drawback was that when I went to use the bread bowls for the soup, I could cut out the right amount of the bread for the soup to sit in.  It didn’t matter.  It was delicious anyways.  Thought I might share some of the highlights of the day.
