Baking Bread

On Ally’s 2nd snow day of the year she and Becky made bread. I went to work.

They mixed up the dough and added the yeast. Becky wanted to make bread with Ally because of Amelia Bedelia – in one of her books Amelia has no idea what “let the dough rise” means.

Ally got really into kneading the bread.

 

And after getting dressed and letting it rise was quite excited about seeing what it looked like.

Can you tell Ally was nervous to “punch it down”

But she did it.

And the loaf came out beautiful. Ally really enjoyed eating it with jam on it.
