On Saturday afternoon I realized that if we were going to make bread, we had to do that night. I couldn't let Susan down. After a quick trip to Target for more diapers (potty training isn't close to switching to underwear yet and we were down to what was left in the diaper bag) and to the grocery store for honey & yeast, bread making commenced.
Make this bread!

I got to explain how yeast eats the honey and makes gas which makes the bread rise. B got the potty humor of this and loved it. A not so much.
The kids loved making the bread but none of them would eat it. A said it was too thick, which I interpreted as too dense. I'm not sure if it is how it is suppose to be or if it didn't rise enough or if the boys kneaded too much flour into the dough. They were having lots of fun with that part.
DH & I loved the bread, especially with the homemade butter A made at her American Girl Felicity camp. Yum.

Mmmm, that bread looks really good! And with homemade butter! Wow. I've been wanting to make bread, and apparently I am not a Holland until I've made pizza dough. I bet get going on this culinary to-do list!
Just as I expected. Perfect bread AND everyone had fun. I can't believe it. And your boys have personalized aprons?!? Maybe that's the key. Think iif I got those for my kids they'd all make bread nicely?
Nah.
Wanna switch kids for a day?
Susan - Those aprons were a bargain. $7.00 with personalization from Williams Sonoma. A has one too but she wanted to wear the birthday party apron instead.
And just so you don't feel so bad, John ended up crying because he couldn't make the snakes to braid his bread. I got frustrated and took the dough and rolled it out for him. There were tears involved and flour was absolutely everywhere!
