Spring is in full swing and so are the dietitians with their little sous chefs. Making your own bread had a moment in 2020 and we are still all about it. This recipe is a fun way to not only get kids in the kitchen but use the random vegetable leftovers (or intentionally buying these ingredients) to reduce food waste and have a fun project. Before you start, give yourself enough time to make this one as it takes about 2.5-3 hours, but don’t worry about 2-2.5 hours of that is spent letting it rise!
