We did it!

Emily's 4-H group did a soup supper for a fund raiser last week and each 4-Her was supposed to supply rolls, crackers, carrots, dessert, etc. Since Emily had learned to make bread from scratch this winter, she wanted to try it for this. So, after school the day before, we started right in. I had a little space heater running and turned the oven on ahead of time because it was a cold, cloudy day, not conducive for baking bread. Together we remembered things pretty well...The neighbor girl even came and helped with the fun part of squishing the dough and making it into balls for the rolls.

It was a bit stressful for me because I was afraid they wouldn't raise enough, or it would take until late into the night, etc., etc.

I am a worry wart.

Everything turned out fine. We took the last pan out of the oven just before she went to bed. They were Yummy and I am so proud of Emily for tackling this and accomplishing it.!! She helps me to "Just Do It" and not worry so much. Worrying can be very limiting. That said, here are the pictures that I messed up yesterday! For whatever reason, Blogger likes me today! Figure that one out!

Starting to mix in flour...

Kneading the dough...
OOOHHH! the fun squishy part!! (Ooops! Maybe this should be picture #2?...I'm not messing with it again! If it's not broke, don't fix it! my grandpa used to say!!! You get the idea anyways, right?)

"Playing" in the dough is such fun!!!


Waiting for the rolls to raise and then the finished yummy product!!! Don't you just love homemade bread???
It's really not as hard as you would think...
