Bread Day!

It's been awhile, but today I broke out my mill and wheat berries (yeah, I'm one of those homeschoolers ;) ), dusted off an old recipe and got busy making some fresh bread for my family. 

A well used recipe from many years ago, 

written in hubby's barely legible scrawl

Freshly milled flour

Yeast, water, honey, salt and 5 cups flour

Waiting

Tea just starting to brew

While the bread was rising, I made some fresh brewed tea.

Yeast all bubbly

Poof, go the bubbles

Kneading

Waiting - this time for the oven to heat up

Bread in oven and tea is done

25 minutes later, 4 hot loaves come out of the oven

  Cooling 

with six expectant tongues waiting

Even though I can't eat the bread anymore, wah, I know that my kids will devour it. The four loaves will be gone by the time everyone goes to sleep tonight and I know that the bread that they ate was made with nothing but the best ingredients and lots of love.
