Year 2 DT - Bread Tasting/Making

In Year 2 we started our new DT topic, all about bread. We started by briefly looking at the process of making bread and mapped out where different breads came from all over the world. We then taste tested different breads such as brioche, wholemeal and pitta bread. We discussed their shapes, sizes, tastes and textures and looked at how each bread was used in the culture that it came from.

Later on in the term, we were lucky enough to make some fresh bread rolls ourselves. We used design sheets to figure out which ingredients and equipment we would need, and then set to work creating our bread rolls! Once they had cooled down, we taste tested them. We completed an evaluation sheet which helped us identify what went well during our bread roll making and things we could improve on next time.
