Tim's paternal grandmother, known to all of us as Grammy, was a wonderful cook and baker. One of the recipes we all loved the best was her Amish Bread. We realized only recently that Aunt Kayci has kept Grammy's Amish Bread starter/recipe going since she passed away 2 1/2 years ago. As luck would have it the bread was ready to make while we were there so Aunt Kayci invited us out to the farm (which happens to be Grammy's old house) to enjoy a morning of learning how to make delicious Amish Bread. Thank you so much Aunt Kayci!

Reagan and Aunt Kayci getting down to business
I love the flour on Reagan's nose and the towel Aunt Kayci gave her to wipe her hands on placed over her shoulder. What a little baker! :)
Kennedy loves to explore and she had lots of fun crawling under, around and through Aunt Kayci's kitchen table/work space

Reagan helping Aunt Kayci mix all the dry ingredients for the bread
Kennedy is a good little mix master too ;)
Uncle Randy showed Reagan how to sprinkle the top of the Amish Bread dough with a cinnamon sugar mixture
Unfortunately Aunt Kayci probably had a little too much help and then we got totally distracted by looking at the baby's nursery (including cool toys and super cute clothing) and so some of the bread ended up a "little" over done... So long to our first attempt at Amish Bread!
With some of the bread that turned out alright Aunt Kayci taught Reagan how to see if the bread was done by sticking a toothpick in the center (if it comes out clean it's ready to come out of the oven). Reagan loved this and kept wanting to stick all of the bread repeatedly. lol :)
Thank you Aunt Kayci for inviting us over to learn how to make Grammy's Amish Bread as well as providing us the starter to make some of our own. We had a great time and appreciated it so much! :)
