Kindergarten Recipes

2 Cups very warm water

1 Tablespoon honey

1 Tablespoon yeast

4 Cups flour (approximately...you may need more, keep adding until you can't mix anymore)

pinch or two of salt

clean dish towel

1. Make a snack for the yeast

Yeast is very hungry, so we make it a "soup" to eat--pour the warm water in a large

mixing bowl and then stir in the honey.

2. Feed the Yeast

Sprinkle the yeast over the top of the "soup".

3. Let it snow

With very clean hands, start adding the flour by making it "snow" into the bowl. Sprinkle

in a pinch of salt, too. Keep adding flour "snow"--taking breaks to knead it into the dough

until the dough is stiff and no longer sticky.

4. Taking a Nap

Whew! Our dough is tired. It is time for the dough to take a little "nap" under a "blanket"

(cover the dough loosely with a towel and set in a warm spot to double in size for an hour

or two)

5. Make shapes

Preheat the oven to 350.

Peek under the blanket. Has your dough doubled in size? If so, knead it for a bit and then

shape it into either a loaf, buns, or shaped breads and place on an oiled baking sheet.

6. Another rest

Your dough is probably tired from all of that shaping, so he needs a brief rest under his

blanket again (another 20 minutes or so while the oven preheats) before baking.

7. Bake

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until light brown. Smaller breads

and rolls need less time.

8. Enjoy!

Let your bread cool a bit on a rack and then slice it with a serrated bread knife and enjoy

it with your choice of toppers....honey, butter, jam
