1st time making bread

J surprised me by wanting to make bread. So I gave her a basic recipe and she set to make it. Later when it was time to knead, W joined in.

Here are the kiddos working hard.

Our bread turned out fine and we all ate it heartily. But for some reason, it didn't rise very much. Perhaps the yeast is too old so lost effectiveness ? We'll have to try again next time with fresh yeast.
