Wells Family Fun Zone!

Well, this will be fun to clean up!

A few days before my surgery I was hanging out at my mom’s house and found a Betty Crocker bread recipe book. It’s one of those old ones with the great recipes. I have a cookie one at home that is chalk full of super good cookies. Well, anyway, I decided to bring the book home and vowed to make bread as soon as I could get around the house well enough.

That day was today. I thought it would be hard, but simple enough. Carrie made pizza dough about a month ago and watching her it seemed relatively easy… what could go wrong???

I made the milk/sugar/stuff mixture and mixed it with the flour and yeast just like the instructions said…. I added flour just like the instructions said… I started to dump the dough onto a floured surface just like the instructions said…. Well…. I finally got it out of the bowl and onto the surface. I decided that it looked way too sticky to touch so I added more flour and floured my hands. Time to dig in!

It stuck everywhere! Oh my gosh. I have been watching a lot of Star Trek and it reminded me of what might be some alien substance that leaches to a person’s hands. I mean… the level of sticky was ridiculous. I eventually kneaded the dough and somehow scraped it off of my hands and into a greased bowl. It is now covered and hopefully rising. Below are a couple of pictures to show you a portion of the horror. Keep in mind this was after I de-gooed my hands! They were worse!!!!

Gross.... and my poor wedding ring!

Well, folks, it was alllll worth it in the end! They were delicious!

Holy yumminess!!
