A Closer Look at Bread

Our activity today with “The Playful Pioneers” by The Peaceful Press was to make French bread. 

It is painful to admit that we have never done this together before!

We followed the beautiful recipe in the cookbook included with “The Playful Pioneers” curriculum.  HERE is a similar recipe by Your Homebased Mom if needed.

 

The kneading was a hit with Miss 6…she kept saying “I need to knead!”.

The girls loved tucking in the loaves to rise in the sun, they kept peeking at it every few minutes and were surprised at how quickly they grew in size.

We studied wheat with the help of our “Farm Anatomy” by Julia Rothman, while we waited. 

 

Oh the house smelled so beautiful this day, I’ll never forget it!
