Somewhere over the Rainbow Bread

So this pintrial came completely out of necessity! Avery cam home from school with the dreaded stamp on her hand. NO MORE LUNCH MONEY. I didn't have time to get to the store, I HAD to make lunch, I had no bread, I got an idea!

I remembered a pin I did a long time ago. Rainbow bread. I like to make bread at home but I don't have a bread maker. Let me warn you now that the link I will send you to uses a bread maker. She links you to a bread recipe without a bread maker on ehow. I will tell you right now you can use any soft loaf bread recipe you want. The magic comes in the colors!

Now honestly, I haven't even tasted the bread. But both kids, plus the 3 neighbor kids that showed up in my kitchen when they heard we were baking rainbow bread, can attest to the taste! The thing about it that matters, it looks freaking awesome!

Who wouldn't want a sandwich made out of that?????

I followed all the recipes this time. We only used 5 colors instead of 6. We mixed all the colors by hand because it was more fun. And my loaf pans were a little smaller. I chopped off the ends to make it even and just threw those in to free form bake. Kids loved those mini breads the most. Otherwise I was a good little baker and followed directions!

Here is the recipe link that I followed.

My only other mistake is I sliced the bread while it was still warm and I should have let it cool more. But the kids and I were both a little impatient.

I am super impressed with this whole project. The fun of making it, and the outcome. I highly recommend!
