Easter 2010

We really enjoyed a relaxing, inspirational Easter weekend. I loved having general conference coincide with Easter this year. As always, the talks were wonderful and it was a much need break from the norm.

A couple yummy treats we enjoyed:

Kris' French Bread~

1 T shortening
1 T salt
1 T sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 T active dry yeast
5 1/2 cups flour
1 egg white

Place shortening, salt, sugar, and boiling water in bowl (or bread machine) until shortening is melted. Add cold water, then yeast. When it bubbles, stir in flour gradually. Knead for 5 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl to rise until double (about 1 hour). Punch down, then shape into 2 long loaves. Place on a greased cookie sheet to rise for 30 minutes. Brush with egg white and slash 3 times diagonally. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. ~Makes 2 loaves
