So what to do on a dark rainy day? COOK! BAKE! and PLAY! I am now on the lookout for rainy day recipes. Things the kids and I can make together that will make wonderful memories and help with rainy days when we can't play outside.
SUN BREAD!!!!
From the book, Sun Bread... a sunny bread to share!
Lovely rainy day activity with the kids!
Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
3 eggs
3 TBSP sugar
2 cups sifted flour
1 stick melted, unsalted butter
2 packages active dry yeast
3 TBSP lukewarm milk
3 TBSP sugar
2 cups sifted flour
1 stick melted, unsalted butter
2 packages active dry yeast
3 TBSP lukewarm milk
Directions
Mix well:
3 eggs
3 TBSP sugar
Combine:
2 c sifter all purpose flour
1 stick butter, melted
Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and beat well.
in a small bowl combine
2 packages active dry yeast
3 TBSP lukewarm milk
Let stand until foamy, at least 5 min.
Add the yeast mixture to the batter and stir. Knead dough on greased, floured surface for 8-10 min. (My dough took in about another cup of flour while kneading. The nutritional info includes 3 cups of flour, because of this)
Place dough in greased bowl, cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until double (about an hour).
Punch down and knead for a few minutes. The separate in to two portions.
To form the sun's face, shape one portion of dough into a rounded, somewhat flattened ball and place on a large greased baking sheet (you can make a face by punching eyes and drawing a mouth with your finger)
Make a corona for your sun by dividing the remaining dough in half again. Roll half into long snakes. Then curl the snakes into puffy snail shapes. For the rest of the dough in to puffy triangles. Firmly attach the snails and triangles to the sun (use a little water if your dough is to dry)
Cover your sun and let rise again for about an hour.
Bake at 400 for 20 minutes testing for doneness with a toothpick!
Enjoy! Plain, or with honey or jam!
