Wholewheat Baguette Fun


This afternoon I figured why not take advantage of the heat bread will rise really well. I had also posted a question on the chow and chatter facebook page about your favorite food smells in the morning, mine was bread so I was destined to fill my kitchen with the smell of bread baking today!

 It had been a long time since I had made bread and I am always looking for fun toddler activities to avoid the afternoon heat, way too hot for this pregnant lady!

The following is a pictorial post of bread making fun with a toddler, and a link to the recipe the only change I made was to do 1/4 wholewheat flour. 

Here's a link to the recipe the first time I made it Homemade French Baguette

  6. How ironic. I attempted to make bagels today w/my 4 yr old. Sadly, they didn't turn out as well as your baguette. This was my 1st bagel experiment. The dough was too wet, which yield ugly, dense bagels. I won't give up, though. Like you, I love the smell of a yeast bread. Actually... I love any smell of any type of dough thing ;-)

  14. That's the ticket! Get your toddler to do the kneading! :)
    And get a chemistry lesson at the same time.
    Great crumb on your bread, Rebecca.
