Homemade Bread In A Bag

My twins are in kindergarten this year, and can I tell you they are LOVING it!  I can see exactly why.  They have a wonderful teacher (thank you, Mrs. Kohler), they do fun activities, they're learning to read, and they have great friends (their favorite part).  

Just before Christmas break I volunteered in their classroom on bread making day.  I love volunteering and helping out, but I have to say my motives for volunteering may have had to do more with my  curiosity than anything else.  How exactly does making bread with 20 plus kindergartners happen?  I was ready to award Mrs. Kohler teacher of the year before even entering the classroom.  Anyone who would attempt that deserves an award of some kind.  

Their teacher had a lady from the Utah State University Extension program come and make the bread with the students.  Everything  went so smoothly!  All the ingredients were put in a gallon bag, so there really was no mess.  The students were paired up and took turns getting ingredients, and then holding the bag for each other to mix and mix and mix.  It was so much fun to watch!  

They were able to take their bread loaves home and then we baked them in the oven.  I was shocked with how good the bread was!  And it was made by kindergartners.  I was sold!  Great bread, hardly any mess- easy, easy!   

You can find the recipe here.  We made the 1/3 whole wheat flour bread, but you could try any of the other ones (I know I'm going to).  I've made the bread two times since my boys made it in class.  It's soft and delicious every time!  Thanks Mrs. Kohler and  the USU Extension program for the great idea!
