Making Bread

In class we have been investigating how our food gets from the farm to the table. We watched a youtube video explaining how wheat is harvested and how they then turn the wheat into flour. First the farmer grows the wheat. Then it is harvested. After it is harvested it is stored in silos ready to be transported to the flour mill. After it arrives at the flour mill it is cleaned and ground into flour. Then it is packaged. Finally the flour is transported to shops and bakeries ready to be used.

We then watched a youtube video to find out how bread is made.

After watching these videos we made bread in our classroom with a bread maker.

First we had to put the yeast into the breadmaker, we then added the flour and finally the water. We turned the breadmaker on and left it cook for 3 hours. The yeast helps the dough to rise.

The smell of the cooking bread in our classroom made our mouths water. After it was cooked we had to let it cool before we could eat it. Mrs R cut up the loaf so we could eat it. We all agreed that it was very yummy.
