Flaxseed Bread

This is wonderful bread toasted,

just like Rose says in her recipe

for Flaxseed Bread.

A truly simple bread to make

with very few risings,

it came together quickly 

and easily.

So easily,

in fact,

this little lady 

made it entirely on her own!

She's ten years old now and loves 

baking and cooking; it's at the top of her list

of fun things to do.

  This is the first start

to finish loaf of bread she's made.

My only interference was 

wrestling the dough into the 

too small loaf pan.

I stood with her as she weighed

out the ingredients and promised

the craggy dough would magically

turn into lovely dough with those 

two little teaspoons of yeast.

The dough was a little too dry

so more water was added.

Not sure if it was because we used

ground flaxseed or due to an

unexpected cold snap that

left us with very dry air.

I kept telling her that my fellow

bakers always say bread dough

is very forgiving.

Dough coming out from the microwave proofing sauna

Definitely need to invest in a slightly bigger bread pan.

My other one was way too large for this recipe.

The poor child was in agony waiting the recommended 

two hours for the bread to cool.

Wrapped up she took it home where it was 

very much enjoyed toasted with Irish butter

and Irish cheddar cheese.

So this is the second generation of 

Rose's bakers.

I'm happy to have gotten over my yeast phobia

through The Bread Bible baking group

and very happy to be passing on the love 

of baking bread to my granddaughter.
