Baking bread is such a fun activity to do with kids. Measuring, scooping and kneading provides so many wonderful sensory and fine motor opportunities. Besides, who can resist a house that smells like baking bread. Baking bread with kids can sound intimidating, but thanks to this easy bread recipe it is not. People are really impressed when you tell them you baked your own bread. I don't know why, but try it and see for yourself. Don't forget to also try this Strawberry Bread Recipe and this Irish Soda Bread Recipe.

Easy Bread Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dissolve one package of yeast into a bowl of the warmed milk. Next add the honey, melted butter, and salt. Mix to combine.

Add 3 cups of flour and mix with hands until a soft dough forms. We saved the last cup of flour for dusting and kneading.

Place the dough on a floured surface and begin kneading for about 10 minutes. This was my kids favorite part. They loved punching, pulling and squeezing the dough.

When you are done kneading, place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Place the bowl in a warm place so it can rise and double. This will take about an hour.

Next, punch down the dough and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover the dough and place in a warm place for another 30 minutes until it rises and doubles.

Bake for 30-35 minutes at 375 degrees. Our top started browning at about 20 minutes so we placed some foil over the pan for the remainder of the cooking time. Remove from pan when done and allow to cool.

We love our honey bread with a little butter which melts so nicely on the still warm bread. No butter? Try Making Butter with Kids. I hope you and your kids will try this easy bread recipe.
