Homemade bread and rolls made by Jeremiah[/caption]
A father of three school-aged children, Jeremiah also likes to get his family involved in the kitchen. “I try to teach them as we work together. I don’t typically measure out the flour because I go by touch – I teach them how the bread should feel – not too sticky but not too dry.”
For the beginning baker, Jeremiah offers this advice. Start with a simple bread recipe and have some successes. I always start with yeast and warm water, not too hot but not too cold, and then add flour. Remember, you have to give it time to rise. After you are comfortable with the process, you can move into dessert rolls and more complicated recipes.”
It’s also important to use the freshest of ingredients, including grinding your own grain.

It takes some time, because you have to let the bread rise and you want to make sure it is delicious. “It is so satisfying to make bread and then eat the warm bread, right out of the oven,” he said.
“When I am making bread to take somewhere, the kids will smell it and come into the kitchen and ask for the end pieces, even though they don’t like the end pieces of store-bought bread.”
Jeremiah also makes his own jam from strawberries he grows in his backyard. That’s his favorite carry-in offering and here at Lehman’s, we have been the lucky recipients of his baking skills!
