Today’s Activity:
Baking day! Start some Amish Friendship bread. I would suggest scrolling down and reading the comment from Baked that was left Nov. 20th, 2007. Also, it is easiest to store this in a plastic Ziploc bag and just massage the bag rather than stirring the dough. Once you get to day 10 then go here to learn what to do next.
Note:
If you’ve never done this before it is a lot of fun and it about 10 days you will have some yummy bread!
Evaluate:
OK- let me translate this recipe for you. I’ve only done this before after someone gave me the start and this was the recipe I found. While the recipe helped me I would suggest a few differences. First off save yourself some dishes and just mix the yeast and water in your liquid measuring cup. Second, put the flour and sugar directly into a Ziplock bag and mix it in there. Also, read the comment that I mentioned before and when you give this to someone make sure you give them the information included in the comment as well as the baking directions that are in the second link I gave you above. Hope that helps. Also, the kids weren’t too disappointed that we didn’t actually bake something today because Max just wanted to go play with friends.
Also, if your little ones are anything like mine they will think that smooching a Ziploc bag is WAY more fun that stirring something with a spoon!
