We Did It!

Yes we did! We successfully made bread with our mentoring group. Let me tell you I was as nervous about this as about taking a final exam, and felt similar relief when it was over. I had to teach the girls each step and I didn't have a lot of confidence. But it worked! And they were great fun!







We set up seven stations using the spacious kitchen of one of the mentors. It was perfect. We watched the yeast rise in the warm water and then "went to town." We had found a "cool rise" recipe that allows you to keep the rising bread in the frig up to 48 hours before baking.

By the time the evening was over the

bread was starting to rise so they

scurried home to put it in the frig.

How fun for me to get photo texts the next morning from

 three girls who had gotten up early and baked it for breakfast! 

I know one who is going to try baking a four-loaf recipe. 

Now they know how, should they want to make bread; 

for sure it's a money-saving skill.
