Breadmaker Success

I have been wanting to make a batch of bread using a breadmaker for a while! So yesterday I borrowed my friend's breadmaker and gave it a go. WOW! And I mean WOW! I did a 5 cup batch (also known as our half batch) and it was FANTASTIC! It kneaded GREAT and tasted SO GOOD. So if you are out there and want to join the bread making world, but don't have a "good" mixer... dust off that ol' breadmaker... pour the ingredients in.... let it knead for 8-10 minutes... then pull it out and start creating your baking masterpiece! It is a good alternative to a Bosch or Kitchen Aid ... however I can't guarantee how long it will last or that it wont burn out the motor. If you find yourself using it ALL THE TIME and loving baking... then consider an upgrade to a Bosch (the best choice for smooth operating) or a Kitchen Aid (smaller capacity and harder on the motor).

Experiment Breadmaker = Success

Updated recipes!

To all you bakers out there that have been successful at baking, great job! If you are still struggling and need help please call us or email us at any time. We would love to help! One recipe that we have added a new recipe to our class: ORANGE ROLLS! (We got the idea from our mom who made them all the time and we loved them!) In lue of cinnamon and sugar in the middle, use 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1-2 TBS orange zest (this is for 1/4 batch or 1 "loaf"). For your glaze use 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 TBS orange zest and the juice from your orange. You want the glaze to be pretty thin, and use your basting brush to apply it to the rolls. So fresh and so good! Enjoy!

Need a baster or a zester? Call or email Kate for some awesome products from Pampered Chef.

A HUGE THANK YOU!!!

It's hard to believe that one week ago we were up to our elbows in flour, sugar, salt, yeast, butter and powdered sugar! We had set a goal of $500 and thanks to ALL OF YOU, the total amount collected was over $1100!!!! That's right... we more than doubled our hopeful donation amount.

In total, we made 76 Dozen cinnamon rolls!
You may ask yourself "What goes into 76 Dozen cinnamon rolls?" Here is our best calculation...

100 lbs of Lehi Roller Mill Turkey Flour (we only use the best!!!)
15 lbs of Sugar
2 lbs of Saf Instant Yeast
7 gallons of Water
?? Salt
2 cups of Liquid Soy Lecithin
2 large Cinnamon containers from Sam's Club
36 lbs of Powdered Sugar
12 lbs of Butter
2 cups of Vanilla
5 lbs of Cream Cheese
A WHOLE lot of LOVE!!

There were no major setbacks, no major mistakes (unless you tasted one). For being our FIRST (of many) cinnamon roll bake-offs, it was a pretty smooth trip! Thanks to all of you who purchased, picked up, referred, and helped donate to this great cause. My Aunt, with our fundraiser and others, has been able to raise over $10,000 to purchase the truck that is needed. She is currently shopping around in Zambia and other nearby countries to find the best one she can. And with more than $10,000, she will be able to buy the "Cadillac" of trucks that will last scores of years!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! For your willingness to serve and your patience in the process!

Cinnamon Roll Fundraiser for Mothers Without Borders

Hello everyone out there in blogger/internet land. About ten years ago, our aunt Kathy started “Mothers Without Borders,” a non-profit organization that provides shelter and a family environment for orphaned children in the African country of Zambia. Mothers Without Borders’ "vision" is simple:

Mothers Without Borders envisions a world where children are safe and loved, understand their value, and are given opportunities to thrive, grow, and contribute to their world in meaningful ways. Mothers Without Borders intends make its vision a reality by creating a world where children's voices are heard - where caring adults join together to provide access to clean water, nutritious food, safe shelter, education, and medical care for all children, especially those who are alone and without advocacy.

Many of you may have heard us talk about the work Mothers Without Borders does. In the past five years our parents have spent many weeks over in Zambia helping in the construction of the Children's Village, and our brother Greg and his wife Whitney were able to go to Zambia a couple of weeks as volunteers. The Children’s Village is a wonderful place where Mothers Without Borders’ vision has become a reality. What started out as a raw piece of land is now developed with a huge warehouse, two houses attached to the warehouse, available drinking water coming out of a hose, solar power, cultivated crops, and chickens. The Children’s Village houses two families and twenty-one kids! What a miracle! And if you understood how slow going everything is over there, "miracle" is an understatement. Aunt Kathy was clearly inspired in forming Mothers Without Borders, and all of its success has come as a gift from God.

Why am I writing about Mothers Without Borders on a baking blog? Recently, the truck owned by Mothers Without Borders that has been used to develop the Children’s Village broke down. With more than 300,000 miles on its back, the truck is done. Without a truck, development of the Children’s Village has ground to a halt, with so much good left to accomplish. That is where you come in. We, as a collective Headlee family, have decided to raise as much money as possible to permit Mothers Without Borders to purchase a new truck. To try and do our part to raise funds we are going to have a

CINNAMON ROLL FUND RAISER!!!!!

No pressure needs to be felt from anyone, but if you are feeling a need for something sweet while blessing the lives of many children over in Zambia, please sign up! The cost?

 ONLY $10.00 a dozen!

That is really pretty cheap considering the 12 homemade pieces of goodness dripping with creamy frosting! Please email us at twobakingsisters@gmail.com and let us know how many dozen you would like. We will be making deliveries next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 9th, 10th and 11th, please specify when you would like them.  If you would like to pick them up, no problem. We will be accepting cash, check and can even send you an invoice through PayPal! If cinnamon rolls is not your thing but you would still like to contribute to the cause, that is great! Every little bit helps. Our goal is to raise $500. So don't wait! And all our friends and family here in town, put the word out for us! Copy our post into your blog, or provide a link so others can join in the cause. We really appreciate anything you can do. We firmly stand beside our aunt on this cause and hope that you will too!

TUESDAY, JUNE 30TH

This is the date for out next class.  "Leave a comment" to sign up for the class.  Only 10 seats available so be sure to reserve your spot.  $20 and an EMPTY stomach is all you need.
