Experiment of Bread


This is the dough after we mixed it.
Me and William made bread with Dad. The first thing we did was make a flour. We did lots of careful measurements with the scales. Me and my teaspoon made each measurement exactly right. Once the flour was made we cracked eggs and put them in our measuring jug, and we topped up the jug with water. We added the eggs and water to the four, along with raw sugar, salt, and yeast. Then we mixed and mixed until Dad said, "that is enough mixing." After we mixed the dough it was stick, and would stick onto your fingers. A little while later however, the dough had a smooth wet-ish top but was still a little sticky below.

Then Dad offered, "do you want to make cake or go and play?" Me and my cousin chose 'go and play'. We played a made up game that we made on Wednesday. I put some cuts in the top of the loaf, and Dad cooked it.

This is the dough a little while later.
It tasted tasty, maybe a little bit too floury. It looked like a big bun, not a loaf.
