BREAD SURPRISE TO END THE WEEKEND


It's been a good weekend, got a lot done (pics to come in upcoming posts), and now it's starting to rain.  Perfect timing!  And speaking of perfect timing...in honor of our first few weeks with the bees, 2nd Man whipped up a new bread for us to try.  He decided to make some white bread and added 10 grain cereal to the batch and then added honey to the dough!

Fresh baked bread
A nice, golden yellow in color...and when it was sliced open...

10 Grain Honey Bread
...lots of grains and a nice texture.  And the honey was a nice surprise. Of course, now I can't wait until we can use honey from our own hives!

Go bees!

Now that the weekend is officially done, I will catch up on comments this week, have a bit of a headache at the moment and will be going to bed early.  

Hope you had a great weekend!

  11. Looks DELICIOUS! What a great innovation of his bread - 2nd Man is so creative! When your bees start producing honey, it will be even better with your own honey!
    2nd Man, would you please share your recipe?
