Double-batchin' it!
This is a recent batch of bread I made. I've decided to double-batch it! It's easier and I freeze extra loaves for the week. My husband got me looong loaf pans and I love them! The outside loaves are made in those! I got a little artistic and carved out some designs during the second rise in the pans! The other quarter of the dough was turned into buns... which are oh so difficult to shape! The standard recipe I use is an Amish White Bread recipe I found at allrecipes.com. I substitute sugar with honey and I often mix in some whole wheat flour. I've used this recipe to make 100% whole wheat. I LOVE the method of proofing your yeast in warm water mixed with honey/sugar. I always adapt any yeast bread recipe to use that method! Still, I am trying to acquire a grain mill and hoping to really experiment with fresh-milled whole-wheat flour! Julie-Anne

Hey! So I made two loaves of whole-wheat honey bread and, while they didn't rise sky-high, they turned out really moist and fluffy and yummy!!! I was thrilled at my first attempt...so was David. Mmmmmm.... Aren't you proud? Hehe! :o)
Thanks so much for your kind comment on my blog. Your words were very encouraging and very true. I was just telling my husband about my grandma and how she ran a very organized and clean home and at 85 is still cooking for others. I am just sorry that she didn't include my mom in those things and that my mom didn't include me. I have also struggled with my role as a homemaker and mother and am continuing to strive towards excellence and not perfection as you so nicely stated. It is my pleasure to write my blog for my children in hopes that they will have a better start than I did. Keep striving to serve the Lord in the role he intended for us. You will never be sorry and you will be greatly blessed.

P.s. I love your blog. I was making bread for a short time but stopped when I got busy with #3. I would really like to start again after Christmas so I will be visiting you for encouragement. I do have to confess that I cheat and use a bread machine to mix my loaves. I am hoping to teach my oldest to put the ingredients in the machine and start it. Then we can shape the loaves together.
