Happy lil ❤’s are baking

Baking bread

Playgroup finished up before Christmas…
and we have been missing the lovely fresh baked bread
…the way we can mold it into our own creations

So using the recipe from our Waldorf Playgroup we made our own *smile*
2 cups wholemeal Spelt flour
a pinch of salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp dried yeast
150 ml warm water

We added the first five ingredients
before slowing and gradually pouring in the water… mixing thoroughly
After kneading for around 5 minutes we left the dough, covered in a bowl, to rise

Dino Boy and Little Miss Q then had a wonderful time
turning the dough into their own little whimsical bread creations *smile*
We again let the dough rise in a warm place for a little while
Before baking it for around 10 minutes at 200°C (390°F)

The warm rolls were delicious, spread with butter
eaten in the fresh air with some homemade lemonade
*smile*
{Dino Boy did say it wasn’t quite as good as the bread at playgroup!}

Happy baking,

Gingerbread

The other day, while Little Miss Q slept…
Dino Boy and I baked *smile*

Gingerbread… he decided
And so we got the ingredients ready for him to make the dough

30 g butter
60 g brown sugar
4 tbsp golden syrup
pinch salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup flour
cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cayenne pepper to taste

These days I can step back…
…and let him do much of the baking himself…
{and he loves that he can}

So he melted the butter, sugar and syrup before adding the dry ingredients *smile*
Then worked it until is was a good dough, before rolling it out and cutting his shapes!

We enjoyed our afternoon tea at our Toadstool Nook
Eating up shooting stars and angry cats *wink*

And isn’t there something lovely…
…about drinking homemade lemonade from a jar *smile* 

Surrounded by beautiful blooming poppies!

Gush ~ my little man makes me smile ♡
Happy days,
Kelly
