Instructions

Leader demonstrates the recipe by mixing up a dough and by using a pre-mixed batch that is already rising and nearly risen.

After the demonstration the kids can all make their own dough.

The leader puts the first batch in the oven for 12 mins.

Children can all then leave their doughs to rise for 20 mins and learn about yeast and flour and do a bread quiz,

Leader brings baked rolls out of the oven for all to see, smell and taste.

Then they 'knock back' and form their dough into rolls and put onto trays sprinkled with semolina, sprinkle the rolls with a pinch of semolina and cover with a damp tea towel. When they get home they can put them straight in their pre-warmed (by parents) ovens.

Ingredients:
1 cup white strong bread flour
1 round TBSP wholemeal seeded flour
1/2 TBSP salt
1/2 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP 'Easy Bake' yeast
1 cup of water
1 TSP olive oil

Clean table tops thoroughly
Wash hands thoroughly
Children must be taught to keep hands clean while cooking and out of ears, mouths and noses!
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly
Add water
Knead until very stretchy (3 mins),
Leave to nearly double in size (20 - 30 mins)
Sprinkle a baking tray with coarse semolina,
Knock back and shape the dough into 8 equal size rolls, put them onto the baking tray
Cover rolls with a damp tea towel,
This should be timed to be the end of the meeting and children then take their trays of rolls home with them.

Remove the tea towel and bake in a pre-heated oven at Gas 8, 450F 230C, upper middle of oven for 12 mins.
Should be very dark brown on top.
Put straight onto a cooling rack.
Share while still slightly warm served with room temp butter and honey or jam!
