http://awhimsicalbohemian.typepad.com/

"WHAT IS ONE WORLD ONE HEART?

I created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong."

To win my goodies listed below all you have to do is leave a comment. Please check out my other post below. My prize pack includes Spellbinder dies, Impressabilities, new fun fibers 2 Heidi Swapp stamp sets 3 mini alpha sets, page hangers, stickers, 3 rolls 7 gypsy gaffer tape, scrappers floss, 2 Heidi Swapp Masks and 100 mini prima flowers!! Yes and one lucky winner wins it all!!

Thank you so much for joining me and GOOD LUCK!!

Homemade Bread--Easy as Pie!
By Victoria Ries
There's nothing more tempting than the aroma of hot, fresh homemade bread, straight from the oven! Spread it with butter, jam, jelly or whatever takes your fancy, and you'll be coming back for more-so will everyone else-make plenty!
Nearly 12,000 years ago, in Neolithic times, coarsely crushed grain mixed with water was laid on heated stones, and baked in hot ashes- the birth of flat breads; still part of everyday fare in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Discovery of naturally fermenting wheat dough's by the Egyptians, produced a light, airy loaf similar to those of today. Egyptians are credited with developing the first baking ovens.

The following recipe has been a favorite of my family since my 26 year-old son, was a toddler. I've sold bread to earn extra cash when times were hard-this recipe in particular, was a hot seller!

If you've never made bread before-please try this recipe; it's virtually foolproof. My ten year-old daughter made this bread recipe for the first time; it was absolutely delicious! So don't be put off - if a child can make it; so can you!

You will need:

UTENSILS

1 large mixing bowl

1 large spoon

1 tablespoon measure

1 large mug or glass for proving the yeast

Greased baking pans

INGREDIENTS

5-lb bag of all purpose or bread flour

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1-tablespoon vegetable shortening; lard or bacon grease

1 cup of cold milk

3 cups of boiling water

1 package of dry yeast

METHOD

In a large mug or glass, pour about four fluid ounces of almost hot water-not too hot; it will kill the yeast. Add a small pinch of sugar and the package of yeast; stir and set aside to "work."

In a large mixing bowl place the salt, sugar and shortening. Add three cups of boiling water and stir until dissolved. Add the milk; stir.

Check the yeast; it should be bubbly and almost to the top of the glass. Add to the milk mixture in the large mixing bowl and stir well to distribute the yeast evenly.

Add flour a cup at a time, and stir well after each addition. When dough becomes too difficult to stir with the spoon, start balling it up with your hands. Add enough flour to keep your hands from sticking to the dough-don't over flour-it will make the bread hard! Keep the dough the consistency of a marshmallow. You won't need to use the whole bag of flour!

Then I knead this dough within the bowl (it will still come out perfectly!). Knead the dough until it is smooth and soft-about seven minutes. The sides of the bowl should be clean. You will know the dough is ready for the first raising, when you can poke your finger into it, and the hole springs back at you.

Grease the dough all over with a used margarine wrapper; place in original bowl and cover with a paper towel. Set in a warm place near the woodstove or in an airing cupboard-a temperature of 85 degrees is ideal.

When the dough has doubled its bulk-punch down and knead again but don't add more flour. Divide dough into balls, for rolls; long "sausages," for a braid and place in greased baking pans or place formed dough into loaf pans. You can even roll some out to make a pizza, at this stage!

Cover again with paper towels and set in a warm place for the second raising.

When raised, bake in a 400-degree oven for about twenty minutes, until golden brown. The bread will be done, when it makes a, "hollow" sound, when tapped on the bottom of the loaf with your knuckles.

On removing from the oven, grease all sides of the bread crust with butter, margarine or shortening. Leave to cool on a rack-if you can wait that long!

Bon Appetit!
