Bread Glorious Bread!



“All sorrows are less with bread. ”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra


Year 5 started DT this Term by tasting some different kinds of bread from all around the world.
Taste, texture, smell, appearance and price were discussed and compared.
We chose our favourite bread...the brioche was VERY popular.



Next we learnt how to make basic bread. We followed a recipe and used measures like millilitres, grams and spoons.



Some new vocabulary we learnt was: kneading, knocking back, proving and rising.



Some of us found out that yeast is a living organism - and found that quite 'yuck', but that didn't stop anybody from tasting the bread!



After we had our practice run we designed our own bread using our favourite ingredients. Some of us chose savoury foods like cheese and garlic, but most of us chose chocolate! The second time we made our bread dough we were much better at it, and it turned out really well. We waited unitl after we had knocked back the risen bread before we added our special ingredients.

  
  

Some of our bread looked a bit neater before it was cooked (chocolate chips run when they melt!)... but they ALL tasted great anyway!

  

We are very proud of our bread... it's a pity that most of it didn't last long enough for you to try some yourself!
So please, use the recipe included here and make some at home.

Take a look at some of our finished products and see if you are tempted to get creative...
