Sometimes chores just all work out well, even without a grand plan

I didn't plan for this to turn out as it did. It all just happened this way. We had completely run out of bread and were eating rice, oats, grits, and potatoes for many meals. I needed hot dog buns for our cook-out on Sunday. I wanted to make a special breakfast bread that would last the weekend. And Friday night is our usual scratch pizza night. 

So. . .

I mixed my usual amount of dough for making sandwich and toast bread, enough to make 3 loaves. Instead of making all three loaves in bread pans, I took one section and made hot dog buns. So our hot dog buns were part whole wheat. (Actually, all of our bread products this week were part whole wheat.)

My daughter was making our Friday pizza, so I asked her to double the dough and save half for me. I used the extra half of pizza dough to make scratch cinnamon rolls.

At one point I had 2 loaves of bread dough, 

1 pan of cinnamon rolls, 

1 pan of hot dog buns, 

and 1 baking sheet with pizza dough stretched out on it, all at the same time.

This all worked out so well for baking, too. The loaves of bread went into the oven first. As soon as they came out, the hot dog buns had risen enough to bake. So in they went. Then the pizza was ready to top and bake. In it went. And finally, while we were eating our pizza, the cinnamon rolls were risen enough to bake. The oven only had to preheat once and I could chain bake all of those bread products.

I love it when my work just all lines up like that. We needed 4 different bread products, and without any major additional work, we were able to make them all in a short time period.

It's the little things in life that make me happy.
