Bread making

While Ben's mom was here she taught me her scone recipe. It is great for all kinds of stuff so this day we were having the missionaries over for dinner so I decided to make cinnamon rolls for dessert. So I thought I needed to make a double batch so they could have some to take home and so we could have some for a couple of days. Well, we got more than that. I had about 3 dozen cinnamon rolls and a loaf of bread. We had so many that we decided to give some to Jesse and the Nevels since they have helped us so much the last couple of weeks.


Adding the flour.


Ben made me look at the camera.


kneading the dough. I had to take it out of the bowl to finish kneading it, there was too much to fit in the bowl once all the flour was in.

And of course Daisy has to help. She wanted to put her hands in there so bad. I finally had to make her wash her hands so she could help me because she kept sticking her fingers in it.


This was after it had risen for about 20 min. The kids thought that this was the coolest most amazing thing they had ever seen. It kinda looked like a mushroom. It had double almost tripled in size within 20/30 minutes.


You can see all the different size cinnamon rolls here. These are the really big ones. This is a serving tray like to serve someone in bed. This was the only thing I had that would hold more than 4 cinnamon rolls. In all I think I ended up with like 48 cinnamon rolls.


This was the plate we sent home with the missionaries.


You can't really tell in this picture but this too had risen a lot more than I expected. This is the largest loaf of bread I have made so far.
