My oldest sister Mollie, is amazing in about ever sense of the word. When she does something, anything really, she does it right! She will research and research something until she knows all about the subject and can do it, and will find the best way to do anything. From raising kids, anything church or home related, cooking, cleaning and organizing to exercising & playing sports, Honestly EVERYTHING.
Well baking bread is one of her master pieces, she has got it down to an art. She makes the most amazing white bread! I can eat it by the loaf! So I called her yesterday and asked her for her recipes.
Yesterday I made wheat bread, and today Kennedy wanted to make bread, she kept asking me "Where bread go?" "Make it Mommy?" while she pointed to the Kitchen Aid. So during Luke's nap this morning Kennedy made bread!
"I did it Mommy! All my self, I did it!"
"Mommy! Bread!"
So when I said she made it, she did, she added EVERY ingredient. She would hold the measuring cups over the bowl, I would fill it up, and she would dump it in.
As you can see about 50% of the flower made it on the table/floor and her pants, but that's fine :)
She loved it, she kept asking "what's this?" after every ingredient.
She had a hard time waiting for it to rise, and then cook but she was so excited when it was done!
Some of her favorite people, Jack & Kate came over to eat it with her :)
Who doesn't love good food and friends?
Yum!
2 Tbs Powdered Milk
1 Tbs Salt (1 tsp per loaf)
1 Tbs Yeast (1 tsp per loaf)
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Oil
3 1/2 cups flower (beat with beaters) (2 1/2 cups of flower per leaf)
4 cups flower (beat with kneaders)
Knead for 7-10 min.
Rise once all together, until double in size, then divided dough to pans, rise again. (about 30 min each)
-You can also skip rising all together and rise for 1 hour in pans.
Bake 350 for about 30 min
-Every oven bakes different, so watch it until the top becomes golden brown, at about 25, 30, 35 min.
makes 3 loaves (pan size 8x4x2.5)
- You can also use wheat flower for the same recipe just change to wheat flowe, and I would add some honey or double the sugar!
Note: I think we added a bit to much white flower, Kennedy was having a bit to much fun :) It ended up a bit more crumbly than I like.. I was worried it was to sticky, but Mollie said to add what it calls for, then let it raise in bulk, then add more flower if you think it still needs it, it gives it more time to soak up the liquid.
So make it, tell me what you think, or let me know your favorite bread recipe! I would love to give it a try!

Very cute! I love how you documented the whole thing.
yum! That is seriously the cutest thing. Unless it's cookies or something you can 'yummily taste all along the way', carson loses interest in cooking fast! :) haha. Thanks for posting the recipe, I'm always looking for new bread ones! I'll give it a try ;)
Sophie, thank you so much for that little tribute. That really made me feel good. I am way hard on myself. Thank You, Thank You.
