Passing on the Bread Making Torch

Today we spent the afternoon learning a precious family recipe from Roger's sisters, Ellie and Ruth. Roger, Ellie and Ruth always tell stories of their dad making bread for the family while they were growing up. Today Ellie and Ruth gave us a demonstration on the fine art of bread making and 2 other dishes we could make with the dough. They also showed us an enchillada dish made with food storage ingredients like black beans, TVP (texturized vegetable protein) with dried onions, white bean powder and chicken bullion soup base. It was so
delicious! On the 3rd Saturday of each month we are going to can things like flour, sugar, powdered milk, wheat, beans, grains, honey, etc. to slowly build up our food storage. After we've canned what we brought for the day we will make a recipe using food storage items and eat together. We had such a great time today that I already can't wait for next month's classes! Thanks Ellie and Ruth for your hard work and effort today. You taught 3 young ladies a very wonderful skill and we are very thankful and appreciative! We love you!
Is there anything better than homemade bread fresh from the oven?


Filling the dough with cinnamon/sugar and brown sugar for cinnamon rolls.
Preparing the dough for braiding. Fill the center with anything savory like chicken and vegetables, ground beef and vegetables, or something sweet like jams and jellies. Today Ellie filled it with ground beef, carrots and peas and served a cream of chicken soup gravy over the top. Yummy!
