Making Bread with Children

25 April 2014 by Eileen

Making bread is one form of baking that I always like to do with my children. It’s such a simple food yet the smell never fails to make your mouth water.  Ms C loves her bread and the only bread she eats is plain!  We can’t get her to eat any other bread, like cheesy bread or even bread with sesame seeds.  So this half term, we made bread together to go along with her soup.

Making Bread with Children slice

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 teaspoons easy-use yeast
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 350 ml lukewarm water
  • 500 g strong white bread flour
  • 2 teaspoon salt

I was provided the list of ingredients by a Singaporean friend.

Method:

  1. In a large bowl, mix all the sifted flour, yeast, salt and sugar together and add lukewarm water to knead a dough for 10 minutes or until smooth. Making Bread with Children ingredients
  2. Cover the dough and let it stand in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size. Making Bread with Children dough
  3. Take it out and knead again on a lightly floured surface. making bread with children with dough
  4. Shape the dough into the greased tin (with butter).
  5. Cover it with a damp tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for a further 30 minutes.
  6. Place the tin in the oven for 30 minutes in a preheat fan oven of 200 °C.
  7. Once cooked, take out the loaf and leave it on a rack to cool down.

Ms C had so much of fun kneading the dough and thought she was playing. When ready, she was so pleased with her baking that she forced everyone to have a slice of her bread even though we were so full with soup!

    WoW, this looks so delicious. You are so good allowing the children to get stuck in – I’m only just getting confident to allow myself to experiment with bread! Its been my nemesis for so long.

    Making bread is the best, we do it all the time, when I have all three kids helping we make bread rolls so they can all make their own. I love the smell while the bread is baking too, makes the house feel inviting. Thank you for linking up with Kids in the Kitchen x

    Your bread looks great, I have always had a problem making bread and it ends up flat and tasting awful. Maybe I need to try again!
