Altered Composition Book

Supplies I started with

Completed Project

This was a quick, easy and fun project to complete. I purchased a store bought black and white composition book and the rest of the materials I had here. I used a 12x12 piece of scrapbook paper, mod podge, 8x10 piece cardstock and scrapbook embellishment. Open your minds and let your imagination run wild as the possibilities with this is endless! Why not make that child in your life one of these as a back to school gift?

Simply White Bread

This is a picture of the bread and the original recipe follows it. However, I did not follow the recipe exactly so see my notes.  Also, the next time I make this I will be experimenting with a few of the ingredients to try and make it healthier.

The family loves the way the bread tastes and smells. I do too but my favorite is how easy it cuts with no crumbles. This is going to make a great bread for sandwiches!

*NOTES

I used organic honey, just a pinch of sea salt and 1 1/2 tsp yeast from bulk pkg. I put everything in bread machine and used the dough cycle. I took dough out and placed in a loaf pan sprayed with butter flavored cooking spray and baked on 350 for 20 minutes. It was a little bit doughy in the very center so next time will go an extra 5 or 7 minutes.

Next batch I will skip the honey and use Splenda and skip the salt all together and cook a bit longer and see how that does. If that works with no problems then I intend on trying to reduce the oil to only 1 tablespoon. Stay tuned for updates with pictures and comments.

*UPDATE

Tonight when making bread I skipped the salt and honey. I added 2 Tbsp Splenda and cooked for 30 minutes. The bread is perfect!
