Autumn is HERE!

Yesterday, Matilde and I were busy baking bread because it is officially bread baking season! The house is finally cool enough to use the oven for a few hours in the afternoon and the girls are eating more sandwiches now that school's back in session. Plus, we couldn't pass up a fresh loaf! This bread recipe was really simple, very inexpensive, and it looks like "real bread!" We used flour, yeast, salt, milk, sugar, and water. What more do you need?! Honestly, it was so simple my 5 year old could make it....oh wait...she did! And it's absolutely delicious! 

More Bread

Two more loaves I just had to try. The loaf on the left I kneaded and the loaf on the right I just wanted! Budum tsk! 

That was Andy's joke yesterday. He thought he was pretty funny with that one! 

Anyway, the loaf on the left I hand-kneaded and the loaf on the right I used the mixer's dough hook. Pretty sure I'll be using the mixer from here on out. We haven't tasted it yet, but both girls were excited about it. Evan kept calling it "actual" bread. It looks really nice, but maybe it'll just deflate like the turkey in Christmas Vacation when I cut into it!  We'll have to wait for cinnamon toast to see how it tickles their taste buds. 

Sourdough

I'm going for it! Wish me luck!! 

Ps- I'm sorry for being a slacker. Andy has photos on his iPod. I just need to forward them to my device. We have lots of exciting things going on over here: birthday fun, bread baking, a successful rabbit escape, seed purchases, and lots of EGGS!!  With a busy home, I have been slacking on the picture taking and photo sharing. I'll try harder because. March 23rd is fast approaching!
