Finally we have had our first baking day! This has been on my mind for quite some time. We built the cob oven two years ago. Up until now we have only made pizza in it. As my mind has continued to work on ways for us to incorporate more of a rhythm to daily life, I have dreamed of having a baking day, using the cob oven. One of the steps that lead up to this were beginning to bake bread weekly. This was followed by baking cookies or muffins along with the bread weekly. I had to get used to planning what we would need each week that could come out of the oven. Now it has finally come!
On Sunday we baked pizza, bread, and a chocolate cake in the oven. Braden helped by brushing the oven out. This included climbing in and out of it several times.
Brent built and tended the fire and coals. Lindsay helped by looking for four leaf clovers in the grass.
Maddie helped by opening and closing the door several times.
I put all the doughs together and brought them out at the right time. We all made pizza and ate it while the other items baked. I loved the adventure of experimenting with temperature and timing. Everything tasted good!
Love-feast
We gather 'round this table,
Where bodies are renewed,
Where hearts appease their hunger,
For we feast on more than food.
