wowzers. that's a lot! you're amazing!

we want to try bees also! my DD really wants to try her hand at it.

you need the recipe for the bread you make once a week and then just cut a piece of and bake. it's in the Mother Earth Magazine that i mentioned. (from this month)

I haven't jumped into the bees yet because the only thing in the world that I'm scared of is wasps!!! I know bees are not wasps, but they are close enough to make me pee myself.

Ok, here's the first loaf of homemade bread I have EVER made completely totally by hand. It turned out pretty well I might add, especially since I whipped up some honey butter to put on it!! Couldn't have done it without Miss_Jayne!!!!!!!!!!!

I have two more loaves in baking right now from Miss_Jayne's recipe!

 

[miss_jayne]

YOU DID IT! nice work!


honey butter! that is beautiful!

Here's loaf #2 and 3

 

[miss_jayne]

those look great! wait till you've done it a few more times, you'll be making it with your eyes closed.

so, when's dinner then?

 

[MandyH]

Oh Lord, I can't eat supper, I'm bout to puke now from all the fresh bread!!

 

[miss_jayne]

This is a recipe from Chickens in the Road, a blog I read each day. This first link shows her daughter at the age of 9 making her first Grandmother's Bread . This next link gives you detailed instructions as well as pictures to help out, Grandmother's Bread part II - in fact scroll on down and she gives directions about using the same basic recipe to make raisin bread, rolls, anything you want.

This is how I have successfully made bread. Good Luck!
