Dear Parents,

As part of our Victorian History topic, we will be designing and making a healthy bread roll.  To begin with we will taste different breads from around the world, which we will provide.  We will then use this as inspiration to design our own bread. We plan to make our own bread designs on:

 Friday 6^th December

To enable your child to participate, please provide them with the following ingredients and equipment for that day:

Ingredients: (Individually weighed, wrapped and placed inside the mixing bowl)

• 100g bread flour (white or wholemeal)
• ½ tsp dried yeast
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp sugar
• A healthy ingredient to add, e.g. seeds, dried fruit. No nuts or chocolate chips please

Equipment:

• Plastic mixing bowl
• Spoon to mix ingredients
• Tea towel
• Small chopping board

This will give you an opportunity to practise weighing and measuring with your child.

Your child will them bring home any spare dough to bake you their fantastic recipe for you to taste at home.

Kind regards

The Year 5 team
