I don't know why, but I have a desire to bake all sorts of goodies lately. Today we baked homemade bread. I recently bought the book Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day, the sequel to Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day and yesterday we made our first batch of whole wheat dough. My three helpers measured flour, which gets a bit messy when you have a toddler who insists on measuring things herself, whisked eggs and watched the dough rise, checking on it every so often to see how much bigger it had become. D even mentioned to J that the reason we could mix the water and oil together is that we added eggs, which act as an emulsifier. I was glad to see that he remembered some of our chemistry from earlier this year!
My next baking project this week will be some cupcakes that I have been dreaming about since I saw them on a friend's blog. Can't wait.
Hmmmmmmm I’m not sure what I like better the picture of the bread or Dylan’s Blue Heron drawing. I guess if I had to choose I’d go with Dylan’s drawing very nice job Dylan it looks great.
