Scratch and Sniff

Here's dinner!






Sarah's Bread

2 1/4 C warm water
1 T Instant yeast
1 T salt
1/3 C oil
1/4 C honey
1 C oats
3 C whole wheat flour
2 1/2 to 3 C white flour

Dissolve yeast in water in Kitchenaid bowl. Add everything else but the white flour and stir with the dough hook while you pick up the baby and put her in her high chair and give her an octopus to chew on. Add white flour and knead on speed 2 while you break up a fight between 2 small boys, send them outside to play, wipe up the spilled milk, pick up the baby and nurse her for 2 minutes until she bites you, then put her on the floor with a crinkly pig to squeeze. Check the dough and make sure it's a good consistency (pulling away from the sides of the bowl but still sticky). Continue to let it knead while you pitch a few baseballs to the boys. Then divide the dough in two, put it in loaf pans and let it rise while you and the kids take a nap (or at least the kids take a nap). When you remember the bread hours later and notice that it's very, very raised, put it in the oven at 375 for 45 minutes.
