Isabella has been asking to bake homemade bread all week. I used to make it all the time, but have been lazy about it lately. So, after I put Ava down for her nap, we ground the wheat berries and made bread : )
I make mine half whole wheat flour and half white flour. I also added some flax seeds. The bread is healthy, but not as dense as a brick. I used to do it all by hand, but kneading 4+ loaves of bread is exhausting, so dh bought me this Bosch mixer. It makes baking bread oh so easy : ) Which means I really have no excuse for not doing it more often.
Fresh yeast LOL Samuel lovingly told me "Mom, it looks just like your fat belly!" Well, thanks so much Samuel : / Don't you love how kids tell the truth? LOL
I had enough dough to make 5 or 6 loaves, but I made 4 and let the kids play with the rest. They made their own creations. Excuse my messy house in the background : )
Here is the bread before.....
and here is the bread after. One of the loaves spilled over the edge a little *ooops*
They have already eaten 2 whole loaves, plus *their* bread. Fresh bread doesn't last long in my house LOL
BTW I still can't remember what I wanted to say LOL

*TAG* Here's a taggy thing for you to talk about so you don't have to remember. (Copy the one on my page and fill out)
I do that memory loss thing all the time too. Like walking upstairs and standing stupefied in the hall. Or forgetting what I was supposed to get on the quick trip to the grocery. I did have an eccentric chemistry professor that would spout everything from thoughts on his formal work to grocery lists into a small tape recorder right in the middle of lecture. Guess his memory worked like ours.
And homemade bread! I make mine half and half too, but its been a while. The kids look like they had a great time!
I have a memory like a gnat, I go into a room looking for something and by the time I have got in there I can't remember what it was!
Your bread look rather yummy.
And by the way your house is anything but untidy.
That memory loss is definitely attributed to being a mom- and in my case, the older they got, not only did I loose memory, but my sanity went too. Just something to look forward to ; )
The bread looks wonderful!!!
Yum! The bread looks delicious! The childrens creations are cute, such creativity :-)
The memory-loss happens to me all the time too. And it drives me mad!! The other day I was looking for Ask, finally asked Viola if she had seen him, and she laughed and said "mom! he's on your arm!". And so he was. I was carrying him around! That probably says more about how I function on 2 hours of sleep, than it does about my memory... But still!!
Oh.my.goodness. I'll be asking for one of those fancy breadmakers for my birthday from my hubby. YUMMY! It all looked so delicious!
I do the same thing all the time!! Darn kids are such brain suckers.
The shirt below is really cute too.
If it makes you feel any better, I can never remember anything either! :) The bread looks so yummy.. it would do me no good to live near you, I would be a bread beggar. I love fresh bread. So cute how the kids made their own bread creations, I love that!
