Making Bread with Little Miss
Yesterday I decided to be brave and make bread with Little Miss. I have a bit of a problem with mess and control and I know that when cooking in the kitchen with a 20 month old, you can’t worry about either of these things. Inspired by Nick and Archie at My Daddy Cooks, I’ve taken the plunge to try something in the kitchen with Little Miss. I figured bread would be the least painful…and I was right! We followed the Annabel Karmel recipe from her book, Top 100 Finger Foods. I’ll include the recipe after the vlog post. The bread turned out quite tasty, actually. We made it into rolls and a flat, olive bread for Little Miss (she’s a big fan of olives). I will continue to use this recipe and venture into the kitchen more often with Little Miss. She loves it and besides, we have an apron and everything so why not? (apologies for the somewhat lengthy video…I need some video editing software and lessons!)
Ingredients for Basic Bread Dough-
- 7g sachet fast-action yeast
- 1tsp sugar
- 150 ml (1/4 pint) hand-hot water
- 225 g. white bread flour (or half-white/half-whole meal)
- 1/4 tsp salt (omit for under 1 year)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Method:
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in a small bowl using four tablespoons of the water. Leave to stand for 5 minutes- it should start to turn frothy.
- Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl then add the yeast liquid, oil and remaining water. Mix to a soft dough, adding one or two teaspoons of extra water if the dough is too dry.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for around 10 minutes until the dough feels smooth and springy. Put the dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean, damp cloth. Leave to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to an hour until risen and doubled in size.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute.
I doubled the recipe above which resulted in us being able to make 6 rolls and 2 flat breads. They turned out lovely and Little Miss was quite impressed with our efforts!
