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.
This Easy Bread Recipe is perfect to make with kids. With just a hint of honey, it is sure to become a favorite!

Easy Bread Recipe

ingredients to make bread
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.
kids mixing ingredients for bread
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.

    I never bake bread, so this may be a stupid question, I got mini loaf pans so each kid could make their own loaf, so split in half How much will that effect the bake time? I assume I would shorten it.
