If I was THAT kind of Wife....

It finally happened! I was the kind of wife who when her husband called to say that he was taking two other guys out to lunch to Bob's Burgers and Brew...I could say, "Honey, why don't you bring them home. I just pulled some bread out of the oven and have some Meredith homemade Chili along with Chad & Rachel's homemade strawberry jam"
It certainly doesn't happen very often at all and that's what made it really sweet!
And for all you bread makers...this is Rachel's neighbor's bread...they call it Mama Bread. If you want instructions maybe Rachel will post them but here's the ingredients and essential information:

2T yeast
1/2 brown sugar
1/2 c warm water....together in bowl

1/4 c melted butter
3/4 c molasses
2 c warm water....put together and then add to yeast and then put into bowl big enough for all flour to be added

1 c white flour
1 T salt
6 c wheat flour... add 2 cups at a time until well mixed. You want the dough to be moist but not gooey...I had to add another cup of white flour to get it not gooey.

Rise in bowl...into pans...rise again...350 degree oven, 40 - 45 mintues cooking time. I put foil over top for the last 10 minutes as it was getting brown.

Considering this is a 6 to 1 wheat bread recipe....it's really really good.

Maybe you too could have one of those moments when your husband can bring home the guys for lunch!
