They used a potholder, but I didn't want to run to the store. Lazy, huh? So I got into my fabric stash and came up with my favorite red toile fabric. I cut two squares, put iron on fabric stabilizer on one (wrong side) then sewed them together with a little loop sticking out. Then I lined up 14 snack size baggies and overlapped them a little, then sewed down the middle.
Voila! A nice little organizer! This would also be great for jewelry, or little sewing or craft projects. I might be making more of these!
I came across this recipe in my whole wheat cookbook. I love a whole wheat bread recipe that is not a lot of work with a great outcome! This bread fit the bill! It only rises once in the pan but you do need a mixer that can knead bread, it's pretty easy. It tasted good too!
Health Bread
1 can canned milk -12oz
1 cup water, warm
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup wheat germ
9 cups whole wheat flour
1 potato, cooked & mashed in its own water
2 tablespoons yeast
Cube, cook and mash the potato, saving the cooking water.
Put the milk, water, salt, molasses,sugar, eggs, honey, wheat germ and 5 cups of whole wheat flour in a bread mixer fitted with a dough hook and blend. Add hot mashed potato and potato water and knead thoroughly. Add yeast and knead once more. Add more of the flour until you have a firm dough. I did not use all the flour. Knead for 10 minutes.
While it is kneading spray 3 loaf pans with Pam. Dip hands in water and pinch off a loaf size piece of dough and put into a loaf and put in pans. Let rise until double in bulk.
Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from pans and brush with butter. Let cool on wire racks.

this is really cute!!! would make a great christmas gift!!
The bread looks fantastic!!
I love how it turned out! I bet it's less bulky that if you actually had used a pot holder :)
Both of those look great! My dad takes a TON of vitamins because he is treating cancer with a combo of natural remedies and pharmaceutical drugs. I could make a 'manly' one for him! :) THe bread looks amazing too, and would also be a great option for him since he tried to get mostly whole grain type foods. Thanks so much!!!!!
Thanks for peeking at my blog!!
I love your blog too and check it often!! Have fun with the paper beads. They are great! I want to make more... just haven't had the time!
I just found your precious blog and love this recipe! My little girl has some issues and cant eat certain things and I've been looking for a good bread recipe! I'm going to print this out and give it a try!

I can smell the bread. But by now it is long gone I am sure! Smells take a while to travel 90 miles........ too bad for me. But....
I love your solution for vitamins. It looks so cute. I am with you on having to have them out to remember to use them. I have my own system, but I will be adopting yours soon. Thanks for the tip and instructions.
Hugs, Shari
