As part of our “Adult Skills” lessons for homeschool, we have baked a few things together, including loaves of basic bread adapted from this recipe.  I intend to teach them to master some baking recipes, as well as cooking a few basic meals, laundry, cleaning, knitting, ironing, sewing, and balancing a checkbook – all as part of life skills that they will need as they grow.

But last week was the first time my eldest made a loaf of bread entirely on his own. He did a wonderful job and was so proud of himself!
