Braided Bread

The girls are excited about making some braided bread! We're going to seize the day and make a batch, even though we aren't totally wrung out and feeling runover by Christmas cheer yet.

This should be fun!

Everly and Anna measuring the milk so we can put it on the stove to scald


Laney cubing the butter to put in with the milk.


Stirring in the cold water....


Watching the yeast bubble up around the unbroken egg yolks.


 Two to hold the bowl, one to stir...13 cups of flour means a lot of stirring. Use those big muscles!


And kneading it out...punching it down. We might have some hair in this bread!


We'll give a few loaves of this away (after intense inspection), but we are going to eat the rest with our dinner!
