Mid Winter's Day


To celebrate mid winters day, and as part of our measurement for Maths, Room 1 made vegetable soup and bread rolls. We all brought along a vegetable and chopped or grated it into the soup. We let it cook for a long time!. Next we made bread rolls. We had to weigh the white flour and wholemeal flour and then check our weights on the electronic scales. Next we measured the yeast, salt and milk powder. Then we put in golden syrup, margarine and warm water. We put the ingredients into the breadmaker and it took 45 minutes to make the dough. We had to use our fractions knowledge to cut the dough.. First we cut it in half, then into quarters and then we cut each quarter into thirds! We cooked them in batches of 12 ( 3 rows of 4). We made three batches, so that was 36 buns altogether. We all loved the bread and most of us loved the soup.
