We got a wheat grinder from my parents and Gilbert couldn't wait to put it to use. He got out a can of our wheat from our food storage and got to work. I wasn't too excited to do it right then but he thought it would be a great family home evening. He pretty much did everything himself until it came to the cinnamon rolls.
The beautiful dough.
I had to teach Gilbert how to get all the bubbles out, and make it pretty.
When I was rolling out the dough for the cinnamon rolls Gilbert asked me if I wanted some help. I told him I needed it a 1/2 inch thick and he started throwing it all over. It was fun to watch some skills I had not seen before and he made it perfectly even to a 1/2 inch thick. I was impressed.
I know they don't look like much, but they were so yummy!
Our bread didn't turn out too bad either. It had really good flavor, but it was a little on the heavier side. The inside wasn't heavy at all, it was just the crust. Since it was our first time using the mill I don't think it was worn down enough to give us some really fine flour. All in all Gilbert did an awesome job making bread for the first time.

So I am going to comment on this post for all your recent blogging. First so fun with the trip to Idaho, Christmas, and New years. I had so much fun kissing that yummy Andrew.

Don't think that when baby number 5 comes that I won't have you help. HELLO.... you offered now I will totally use you. To the point of you thinking, back off Melissa I can't do anymore for you.:)
I love it! Mat has always said that your mom's bread is the best. Was it the same? I love your hair!
YUM!!Your post is making me hungry..Go figure:) Looks good, and I love your hair it is so cute.
Wow, you and Gilbert are amazing that is so cute that you are doing it together. Oh and your hair looks great.
i am a huge fan of the bread making . . . you gotta teach me the cinnamon roll part, me loves.
That is awesome. I have a whole bunch of wheat I should give you. I probably will never grind wheat even if I have a grinder. I'm a white flour girl. My sister has this recipe that is for like 1/2 wheat 1/2 white & she swears by it.
Very impressive I must say! You'll have to mentor me once you have the art of bread making mastered! I want a wheat grinder sometime, too. Look at you little domestic girl. :) And Gilbert is pretty tricky throwing dough in the air! Guess he will have to make us some pizza now huh? :)
