SWEET FREASH BREAD!!!!

SWEET FREASH BREAD!!!!

Mmmm!! Sweet fresh bread!! Last week in class, Ponui-o-Toka read a big book about bread making. Then we made bread the next week. The reason why we did this was because we are learning about healthy eating for inquiry.

At the start of the day we made the dough but first we had to wash our hands because the teachers don’t want us sharing germs. Then we combined the ingredients together in a bowl while looking at the recipie. We mixed the yeast in a different bowl with water and Mrs Jack added in sugar and Mrs Jack mixed it with her HANDS!! Then we poured it into our other mixer and mixed it with a dough mixer.

The teacher kneaded the dough, when we are kneading all you are doing is just pushing down with the heel of your hand then folding over and repeating that process over and over again. While you are kneading you are spreading the air bubbles throughout your bread dough.

Then we put the dough in a bowl and cover it with a tea towel and wait 1 hour for it to rise in a warm space we left ours in room 6. I said “when will it be done rising i want to eat it” Mrs Jack preheated the oven.

I said to my friend “YAY!! Time to taste the scrumptious looking bread” When I tasted the first batch of bread it was really sweet I think that because Mrs Jack added a lot of sugar, The second batch tasted like a scone and both batches were crusty on the outside and soft inside.

I thought that the bread making was fun because we got to eat it in the end and it was scrumptious.
