This is for Heather :)
So I have been baking our bread for the past couple of months. I make it twice a month since it makes two loaves at a time. I keep one in the fridge and freeze the other. Marc uses it everyday for his PB and J sandwich he takes to work. Here is the recipe for anyone interested. And no I don't have a bread machine but I use my Kitchen Aid mixer to kneed the dough.
Honey Wheat Bread
INGREDIENTS
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup vegetable oil
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup vegetable oil
5 cups all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add honey, and stir well. Mix in whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Work all-purpose flour in gradually. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for at least 10 to 15 minutes. When dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a well oiled bowl. Turn it several times in the bowl to coat the surface of the dough, and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
Punch down the dough. Shape into two loaves, and place into two well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until dough is 1 to 1 1/2 inches above pans.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes.

Yay! So happy to have a new link to the life of Suz and Marc! I want to talk to you via phone soon...until then, keep blogging! :)
well, I'm sorry I'm not the first on your blog to comment about the blog, bread and trip. The bread sounds great, but there goes the waist line. The trip and the room sound like you had a great time and the blog will keep me up on the rain gauge in Seattle. My color for the "man room" is brown with a moose head. Lov dad
