What bread recipe would you suggest for little ones (3 years old). Thanks!
Mabel, I think you could use almost any basic yeast bread recipe and just look for opportunities where your little one can participate - Amelia's not quite two, but she routinely helps me by dumping ingredients into the bowl, stirring (or watching the bread machine for me), and eating dough while I knead and shape. ;-) One of our favorite recipes is Honey Oatmeal Bread - very kid-friendly flavor and texture, and not a complicated recipe.
Something I wanted to do but didn't think Amelia was quite ready for was making letters, numbers, or other fun shapes with bread dough - for a three-year-old, I bet this would work and would be even more engaging than simply combining ingredients.
I hope that helps some! -Allison
