We have all been enjoying baking bread this week.I've finally gotten up the courage to try the sponge technique, with great success! For those who don't know, a sponge is like a mini-ferment. You get some of the yeast, water, and flour started up to 24 hours before you mix the rest. It gives the bread an extra depth of flavor. It is exactly what has been missing from my previous attempts at bread.
Of course bread baking is exhausting for little helpers. All that kneading!
I set her up at the table with some Os, while I got lunch around and chatted on the phone. When I peaked over to check on her, this is what I found!
So precious.
All her hard work paid off though. This is the best bread I've ever made. It's rye with caraway seeds. My favorite!

Let's have this bread for Thanksgiving!
I'm thinking...maybe we need to do a barter for bread making lessons?
I love the pictures you take of her sleeping just about anywhere. Seriously we need some Wingebach time. Our children would love to play! I need Omaha details maybe we'll make our way up there!
Looks scrumptious! Can you share?
Sleeping children are always so delicious! You just want to gobble them up! How do you stay so thin and eat all that bread?? Share your secret!
