Freshly baked bread... yum!

We were treated to a masterclass in baking bread today by Ms. O'Lone. We learned all about the ingredients and equipment we need to bake both white bread and brown bread. We had been learning about 'arán donn' in Irish so it was a treat to bake our own brown bread to have with 'im agus subh'. We also learned about how the bread rises and how to check if the bread is fully baked by knocking on the bottom of the bread. Everyone got a chance to participate in the bread making process through preparing ingredients, using the equipment to measure as well as mixing the ingredients and kneading the dough. I think all of 2nd class would agree that the bread tasted DELICIOUS!
