making my own bread

my husband is a bread lover.  I too am a bread lover and it follows on that the kids are too.
However, l love granary loves, seeded breads, brown breads, oat breads etc.
Over the past three months l have worked on weaning the kids off white processed sliced bread and bread rolls which are mass produced and baked in convenience stores. God, they love them.  I have tried to explain that they are not very healthy for them.
I started trying them with the shop purchased brown bread, soda bread, wheat loaves etc that l purchase in the shop.
I'm happy to say that over time they have embraced this and now have brown bread for breakfast, they will also have bread in their lunchbox.

I progressed to making my own brown breads with the kids and they enjoy this.  My daughter started spreading honey on hers and l must say I cheered silently that day.

A few weeks ago one of my Lovely Twitter pals sent me a lovely bread recipe that is big on flavour, easy to make and is inexpensive in terms of ingredients.
Its safe to say l have made it every second day since. The kids help me make it sometimes. They have commented on how much they like the smell of bread backing in the house in the afternoon when doing their homework.
I am enjoying making it, and eating it :)
