History is Alive :: Viking Bread

I love when there is a recipe to tie in with our lessons. I almost always chose cooking something with the kids and learning about cultures or times or areas through the food. So of course we made Viking bread. Ours was quite a bit different than the Vikings would have done though. My little market (read connivence store) didn't have whole wheat flour so we had to use all white but we did have oatmeal so that was inside and outside our bread. We also couldn't cook it in a wood burning oven like they would have but it made a great addition to our dinner. The boys noticed the crustier outside, everyone thought it was good bread and kneading bread is always fun! Yay, Vikings!
