One of the “Recipes” we came up with for the letter B Along the Alphabet Path was our “B” shaped Bread served with Butter and Blackberry Jam to enjoy while reading Bread and Jam for Frances!
For this Baking project, I totally cheated and just purchased a package of frozen Rhodes White Bread loaves. I also purchased some Blackberry jam, but you could go with Blueberry, Boysenberry, Black Raspberry, Black Cherry, Triple Berry, or….
Note: You could also make a much smaller version with three frozen dinner rolls, but we were aiming for a BIG B!
Defrost three loaves of bread (five come in one package) on a baking sheet, coated with non-stick cooking spray (we didn’t do this, but I never have problems with anything sticking to my stones). Cover with plastic wrap, also coated with cooking spray to keep it from sticking to the dough while rising. Let dough rise for 4 to 7 hours, until soft enough to work with.
Carefully remove the plastic wrap. Roll out the dough to create three long round pieces for the letter B.
Slice and serve with jam. Snuggles, of course, refuses to eat any sort of jam (it’s just “Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter” sandwiches for this picky little eater!) but he loved his white Bread with Butter!
Aww, what a great "B" lesson. I love that last pic. So, so cute!!
What a great idea! I remember how much my daughter loved all the "Francis" books when she was little.
Wow!! You have wonderful ideas!! Your blog is an inspiration!! Love it!!
