Vegan Bites: Honey Spelt Loaf

 

Bread baking is not my specialty-but it's something that we keep trying- as the kids love the process and the end results. It usually requires very few ingredients, loads of patience and ample opportunity to get your hands dirty. An added bonus-the house smells great and lunch is ready to go courtesy of the kids.

We combined a Honey Spelt loaf with our bee studies.

Since we divided the dough-they ended up looking like burger buns!
