Last week, we made bread with the second graders. They are learning how to measure and we are finishing up our nutrition unit so Mrs. Horst and I thought it would be a fun, healthy activity to do together!
Mrs. Horst helped guide us since we used her Grandma's yummy "Honey Wheat Bread" recipe.
Each of the students had an opportunity to help out in some way!
Gabriel looks pretty excited. :-)
Justin and Zac measuring out the flour.
Mrs. Horst giving important instructions and Dylan (from second grade) adding more flour.
Instead of using sugar, we used Honey to sweeten it up. Anna is carefully adding the "sweetness" to our bread. Yum.
Jessica is carefully adding the oil.
A different ingredient we used was called "lecithin". Mrs. Horst was letting the students smell
the "vanilla-like" scent.
While the bread was rising for the first time, the students worked on a bread facts sheet.
They also created raps which they performed for the classes later in the day!
Looks good!
The next step: Kneading the bread!
Johnny going to town!
And Stephanie took a few hits too!
This was at the end of the day- our finished product! Delish!
After all their hard work, the students enjoyed the bread with butter, jelly and juice! What a FUN day!
Below is the recipe if you would like to try it at home:
Honey Wheat Bread8 c. whole wheat flour
½ c. honey
¼ c. canola oil
1 T. salt
2 T. yeast – dissolved in ½ c. warm water
1 T. liquid lecithin
2 ½ c. warm water
First, dissolve yeast in ½ c. warm water. Set yeast aside while combining all other ingredients. Add yeast and knead (with a dough hook on electric mixer) for 10 minutes. Add flour if the dough is sticky. Knead on counter by hand for 10 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise one hour. Punch down dough and break into 3 equal balls. Shape into loaves and flatten each loaf with a rolling pin. Roll up the dough into a loaf shape and tuck ends under. Rub some oil on the loaves and place in greased/floured bread pans. Cover with towel and rise for 1 hour. Bake at 350 for 25-27 minutes or until brown on top. Rub some butter on the top of each loaf as soon as it comes out of the oven. Makes 3 loaves
