Bread Obsessed

Noah had a big assembly at school a few weeks ago.  All of the 4th, 5th and 6th grade students got to learn how to make bread. Then, they all took home flour, yeast and a recipe. The assignment was to make 2 loaves of bread. One you keep. The other you return and they bring to the salvation army to feed the homeless. Sounds like a great idea!

He couldn't wait to make the bread.

We decided for our half of the dough that we would make a small loaf of bread and some cinnamon rolls.

I don't have a picture of the finished product. Probably because it went in the garbage too quickly. It was nasty. It was too dense and just blah. It wasn't anything we did in the baking process. It all worked out fine. We just didn't like the recipe. We sent the one loaf to school and that was that.

But, Noah became obsessed. He watched you tube videos and he found a bread recipe that he thought would be much better. So, the following weekend, we got to work and made a loaf of bread. He said it's on this You Tube channel called "Everyday". And then it hit me, you mean Martha Stewart Everyday? And he's like yep, some old lady. Oh my gosh, he's in love with the Martha Stewart channel.

And let me just say, Martha's recipe was on point! The bread came out fluffy and delicious. Noah was brushing butter on at the end.

We literally ate 2/3 of the loaf when it came out of the oven. It was so tasty.

So, Noah went back on the Everyday channel and found chocolate chip cookies and rolls and cinnamon roll recipes. Oh vay. I'm going to gain 100 pounds. But, as Martha would say, "It's a good thing", so I'm just going to go with it.
