Adventures in Baking

Just a short little post here. This week I figured I'd give making homemade bread another go. Previous attempts have come out less than desirable. Let's just say they'd fit in better with a bed of river rock than in your mouth. haha After attending an enrichment night where they actually let me feel the dough (yes I'm very hands on), I felt confident enough that my bread would no longer come out dense as a rock. =-D And I was right! I actually got it right this time and didn't try packing in the flour (that made a huge difference by the way) and I didn't kill the yeast. lol The kids love it! And Teancum calls it Homey Homey Bread instead of Homemade bread. I'll have to write that one down in his journal. Maybe make a kitchen plaque that says, "Nothing's better than mom's Homey Homey bread" What do you think? Caoi!
