I would have put you on the list even if you hadn't commented. ;-) My faithful readers!<br /><br />I have fiddled with putting the sugar and even the oil straight into the dry stuff sometimes. And I just microwave the water. I'll have to see if our tap water works...<br /><br />Aww, the doomed oven! I don't think we'll be able to come. :-( But I hope it goes well!Raelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404775103594243609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30138025.post-91621062428840213832009-10-16T22:40:14.652-05:002009-10-16T22:40:14.652-05:00Sierra's already in bed, but I can tell you fo...Sierra's already in bed, but I can tell you for sure that she wants to read anything and everything you write! So please put us on the list!!! There are others in the home as well who will want to follow your new tale;)<br /><br />What a wonderful ministry opportunity for you! I think that's great. Keep up the good work of practicing hospitality.<br /><br />I'm so glad you liked my recipe so much. I'm flattered (blush, blush) ;) My sister is here staying with us for the week and she can't get enough of the pitas and bread we make. But I will say that I have changed it up just a tad to make it easier and faster. I put the sugar in with the dry ingredients and just use the hot water from the tap instead of heating it on the stove. Our hot water doesn't get so hot that it burns you so it works perfectly every time. If yours gets too hot to touch, then it wouldn't work. <br /><br />Also, the kids and I destroyed the earth oven yesterday. We are going to redo it this next week, Lord willing. So if you guys want to come help us build it back, let me know.<br /> ChelsaCreg Istre Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322159206460661795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30138025.post-45811688250842857602009-10-16T16:25:54.018-05:002009-10-16T16:25:54.018-05:00It's not meant to be just a children's sto...It's not meant to be just a children's story. But I think it's family friendly. It has some scary parts - of the evil, monstrous, fairy tale sort - but nothing too dreadful, I think. I don't like being scared for too long myself! ;-) <br /><br />Kelli, I think I can tell from your comments and your blog that you're a real person. I shall risk it. :-) <br /><br />Actually, why don't you e-mail me? (I'll change that in my post) I'll be gone this evening, and wouldn't be able to delete people's emails until later. <br /><br />Oooh! When I think artisan bread, I think seeds... I did make a yummy challah with a seed mixture topping about a month ago. That's about as far as I've ventured so far. My current favorite recipe is "Chelsa's Yummy Bread" from a dear friend. It is so simple, and always comes out fluffy and light and delicious! <br /><br />Mix in KitchenAid:<br />-4 cups flour<br />-2 and 1/4 teaspoons yeast<br />-1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt<br /><br />Warm until it doesn't quite burn your finger (about 100 degrees Farenheit):<br />-2 and 1/2 cups water<br />-1/4 cup oil<br />-1/3 cup sugar<br /><br />Mix wet into dry, mix for 3 minutes, then add in about 2 more cups of flour. Kneed well. Cover, let rise about an hour, punch down, then let rise again about 1/2 an hour. Form into loaves or rolls, proof, then bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes (rolls might take about 22 minutes, loaves a little longer). Spread with fresh butter. Mmmm. When cold, these are the absolute best thing with which to eat Nutella, so soft and comforting...<br /><br />Oh yes. This bread also makes the best pizza crust and pita bread!Raelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404775103594243609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30138025.post-60464341232631802802009-10-16T14:30:16.979-05:002009-10-16T14:30:16.979-05:00Rael...I'd love to read your story! However, I...Rael...I'd love to read your story! However, I hadn't found your blog long enough ago to have commented on 5 posts. So, if you're not comfortable sharing it with me, I completely understand! (and i'll wait to send you my email until you respond...i'm not one to give that out on the web very quickly, and i appreciate your thought of quick deletion!)<br /><br />Also, I'm curious...is your tale one for children as well? I know that just the fact that you are writing will really inspire my daughters! They are both actually in the process of writing stories themselves:)<br /><br />Again...no pressure on letting me read your story. If you're not comfortable, maybe I'll still be around in time for next year's writings:)<br /><br />Oh...and...do you have a favorite bread recipe? I just started making artisan breads, and I'm really enjoying it! <br /><br />Take care, and happy writing:)kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384042749894670084noreply@blogger.com
