One of the best things about having a little girl is the wonderful opportunity to raise up a future homemaker! It’s quite exciting to think that God has entrusted me with this grand task, though it’s a little bit daunting at times.
Right now my daughter is 22 months old and if I want to instill this loving ministry to her I have to start early. None of this waiting until she’s 10 thing! Right now she has the great desire to be like me and do what I am doing and if I wait too long she might grow out of that and I will have missed the opportunity.
Here I will show you one of the ways I am teaching my little girl to make her house into a home.
One of her favorite things to help me with is making rolls.
I put the yeast, flour and grains in a large mixing bowl and give her a whisk so she can stir it all together.
Meanwhile, I’m at the stove heating up the liquids.
When the liquids are at the appropriate temperature I’ll pour it in the bowl with the flour mixture.
While I stir it all together she adds the rest of the flour a little bit at a time. Just remember that things will get messy and that’s okay, flour is easy enough to sweep up 
Now it’s time to grease the baking sheet. I let her do the smearing!
Her last task to help me with is putting the rolls on the pan. I roll them into nice little balls and give them to her to stick on the sheet. She uses this opportunity to smoosh and squish the dough balls. And usually just ends up making a big pile with them.
Now her part is all done! After her hands are washed I go back and rearrange the rolls so they bake evenly. And they come out looking like this!
I hope you find the opportunity to bake with your little kiddos this week!
Here is the recipe if you want to try it with your little one.
4-5 cups of flour
1 cup 10 grain cereal
1 package yeast
1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup oil
3 Tbsp honey
1 tsp salt
Mix yeast, 10 grain cereal, and about 2 cups of flour.
Heat other ingredients on stove until honey and salt are dissolved. (95-110 degrees) pour into flour/yeast mixture.
Add more flour until a soft dough forms. Knead it.
Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Form balls with the dough and place onto a greased baking sheet.
Let rise 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.
*feel free to omit the 10 grain cereal and use which ever flour you like (whole wheat, white or a combination of the two). Also this recipe can be used to make cinnamon rolls, and hamburger buns as well.
