The Bread of Life

This is how excited my four blessings get when we do crafts and recipes together! 

(Yes, we were all still in our pajamas for Buhl Academy that day...and most every day for school!)

I can't say enough how much we are enjoying Adventures in My Father's World.  It is a one-year program for 2nd or 3rd graders, but our whole family is truly benefiting from it.  Besides having a Biblical worldview, the curriculum includes recipes for things that were made in the time period we are studying.  We couldn't wait to try the recipe for Easy Yeast Bread during the week we were studying Jesus being the Bread of Life.  The girls wanted me to take pictures so we could share it on our family blog.  Here are the ingredients needed to make this super easy bread:

1 packet of yeast (or 1 T.)
1 cup warm water
1 T. honey
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp. salt
3 cups flour (whole wheat flour recommended; may use white flour)

1.  Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

2.  Spray a bread pan with cooking spray.

3.  In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water with honey.  Let it stand for one minute.

4.  Add oil, salt, and flour and stir.  It will be thick.

5.  Let it stand for 5 minutes.
6.  Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes.

7.  Shape it into a loaf and put it in the pan. 

8.  Put in oven for 20 minutes to rise.  (Turn OFF the oven as soon as you put the bread in the oven.)

9.  After 20 minutes, leave the bread in the oven.  Do not open the oven, but set oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 30 minutes.

Our yummy bread!

The girls enjoyed a piece as they finished up school for the day:

..."I am the bread of life.  He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."

John 6:35
