The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[coldupnorth]

Today we are T-31 days till set day for Chicken eggs. For those of you "serious" hatchers today is SET DAY for Emu eggs!!! Come on someone hatch an emu for us!


For our daily dose of Fun Chicken facts:

Did you know that scientific tests have proven that a broody hen communicates with her eggs during development, and based on those sounds is able to move the eggs under her for more or less heat as needed? Chicks who hear their mothers vocalisations understand them after they are born.

Guess this means I will just have to put some eggs under my broody frizzle who is sitting on nothing (not even a golfball). We'll have to see if she will be a good mommy.

My all time favorite white bread recipe. And it's sweet enough to use for cinnamon rolls.



Ingredients


makes 2 - 9x5 inch loaves

• 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 6 cups bread flour

Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
2. Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
