Adventures in Bread Baking

I've never attempted to make 'real' bread in the states before...I've made banana bread & such, but never anything that includes yeast. So in honor of my tutors in Kaabong: Stella, Christine, and Jakob, today I was inspired to make my own whole wheat bread...

the ingredients...

the humble beginnings... (don't worry, I didn't try to cook the dough on the stove...)

the results of an amazing growing bacteria called yeast:


ready for the baking...



and wa-la! It's just that easy, folks! Who'd have thought I could bake bread? And its really good, too! Hooray!
