Lately my toddler has been very into cooking, to the point where he runs through the house screaming “coooook!” until you get a pot out for him and help him stir some cheerios around in it for hours. My thoughts on this? What an opportunity for mom to try out some of the three thousand recipes she has pinned on Pinterest!

I didn’t want to jump in too deep, because I’m definitely not a great cook and you never know when the little one will get bored, so I chose this three ingredient Artisan bread recipe by I Heart Naptime. Lots of measuring, pouring and stirring to keep baby happy!

Full disclosure, this was my second try ever baking bread. I tried making some burger buns a few months ago and the recipe was too complicated for me. It required multiple kneads and risings, it was an all day ordeal and I definitely did not want to repeat that.

The results of our bread baking were phenomenal! The instructions, when carefully read, were easy to follow and the bread did not turn out like cake (which my aforementioned burger buns unfortunately did, that’s the result of too much kneading). It’s basically made foolproof for fools like me who think they can bake bread. Just measure, pour, stir, let it rise for a few hours, shape, bake, cool and eat. Easy-peasy, toddler and mom approved!
