I loved the movie Tangled when it came out. We listened to the soundtrack non-stop. Regina was a bit obsessed with Flynn Rider and used to carry a stuffed Flynn doll everywhere. So they were excited for a Tangled day.
This one was the most involved of the ones we had done so far. First, we did some melted crayon art:
Next up was bread baking. We made braided breadsticks to look like Rapunzel's hair and they were delicious! The recipe is quick and easy, and we make these breadsticks a couple times a month now.
Recipe:
1 T active dry yeast
1 1/2 C warm water
2 T sugar
1/2 t salt
3 1/4 c flour
Preheat oven to 375. Then, combine the yeast and sugar with the water. Let this mixture sit for several minutes until foamy. Add the flour and salt to the water mixture and mix until well blended. If the dough mixture is too wet, add more flour a bit at a time until it reaches the right consistency. Sometimes, I have to add as much as another additional cup of flour. Knead until smooth and elastic.
You can then shape the dough however you want. The girls like to braid the breadsticks. Brush with butter. Sometimes we also add garlic salt and parmesan cheese to the breadsticks before baking. Let the breadsticks rise for a bit. Then, bake for about 20 minutes. And voila - delicious breadsticks!
For our Rapunzel day, we wanted the breadsticks to look like Rapunzel's hair after the little girls braid it. So the girls cut out flowers from the dough and added them to the braided breadsticks.
