I am a French national and as such I love bread. I especially love European, French bread. I always look for a reason to make some.

Recently, my cousin from France shared with me a recipe, and of course I had to try it. I was really happy with the result, given how easy it was. So, I decided to share it with all of you.

Petits Pains sans Petrissage (No-Kneading French Buns )

375g flour (2 1/2 cup+ 2tbsp )
2 to 3 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt

250 ml warm water
50 ml warm milk

Preparation:

Mix together flour and salt in a bowl.
Make a well and put in the yeast.
Add the water and the milk. Dissolve the yeast, then mix in the flour with a wooden spoon.
The dough will be sticky and that is ok. No need to knead the dough
Sprinkle flour on top and cover with a damp towel. Let it rest until double in size (about 1 hour).
Preheat the over to 400F for ten minutes.
Place the dough on a floury work place, form into a log ( as well as you can as the dough will be really sticky), and cut into 10 pieces.
Place the pieces unto a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.

Tip: Spray the inside of the oven with water just before placing the cookie sheet in the oven, closing it quickly. This makes for nice crunchy bread.

Et voila, enjoy!

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone, and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation. Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip , has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
