My preschoolers have ben learning the letter B this week, plus we have been talking about bread on this blog, so it seemed only natural to experiment with lots of different bread recipes. So you can expect several different recipes from me over the next several days. That is the wonderful thing about blogging, I can actually share my recipes with people which makes it even more fun to experiment!!

Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

This is a recipe for those of you that don’t have bread machines. It was actually quite fun to make! I gave my four year old a little piece of dough and she and I needed together for about nine minutes. I haven’t kneeded bread in a long time since I have a bread machine, and I forgot how fun it was. I always think it is fun to play with your food, and really what could be more relaxing than punching dough over and over. OK, maybe I’m weird, but I really did enjoy it. Plus, my daughter was SO cute kneeding her little loaf!

2 cups freshly ground whole wheat flour
1 cup oats finely ground
2 tsp yeast
1 T salt
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1 T brown sugar

2 cups milk
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. coconut oil or olive oil

Mix together all dry ingredients.

Heat the milk, honey and oil on the stove just to combine it well.

Kneed the bread for about ten minutes.

Cover and allow bread to rise 10-15 minutes.

Form dough into 2 pretty loaves and place in loaf pans.

Allow the dough to rise to at least twice the size. It is cold and winter here, so I turned my oven on and then off & let them rise in the oven with the door cracked.

Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes.

Enjoy!!  Sorry that I have no pictures of the final product. We ended up having homemade spaghetti and bread with family & the bread was all gobbled up before I could get a picture. (-:
