A month worth of bread…

Once again my dear friend Charissa and I were inspired. After a hectic work week full of stress, I had been looking forward for days to the adventures that the weekend would hold.

First on the list?  Bake a month’s worth of bread.

Yes. A month’s worth of bread. Even better? Charissa and I each wanted to bake ourselves a month worth of bread. Our goal? 10 loaves. 5 loaves for each of us so we can make our husband delicious lunches. We felt it a worthy goal.  🙂

After work we headed to our house and got started. Mixing the yeast and warm water, we left it to activate while we scoured for bowls and started to mix the dry ingredients.

Did you know that when yeast activates it “blooms” up in the middle of the water and creates a foamy mass on top? I didn’t either. Good thing Charissa is an expert!

Once we had the first 6 “adorable little balls of dough” rising safely in the oven….

… we started the process all over again for another 6 batches.

“One thing lead to another…” and a few hours later we had 10 gorgeous loaves of aromatic fresh baked bread and 2 batches of homemade cinnamon rolls to show for our effort. 

All that and we managed to share life, laugh, talk deeply, have dinner with our husbands, and enjoy copious amounts of giggles and sighs as we spent an afternoon and evening together. 

 Thank the Lord for friends who live life right along beside you.
