 Our day started with us sorting out our designer recipes. |
 Then on with our aprons.. |
 ..a challenge in themselves.. |
 ..at least we wouldn't get covered in flour - oh yes! |
 Then it was onto the.. |
 ..weighing of the ingredients.. |
 ..adding all the dry ingredients into the bowl. |
 The wet ingredients - warm water and oil - .. |
 were then added.. |
 ..and the stirring can begin. |
 WE were shown how to knead the dough.. |
 ..and we got into the rhythm of turning the bread 90 degrees. |
 We used flour to stop.. |
 ..the dough sticking .. |
 ..to the table.. |
 ..this is when we got rather floury. |
 This was the state of the dining room after 31 children baking.. |
 ..and not many ingredients left. |
 After break we "knocked back" our dough and added our interesting ingredients.. |
 ..cheese, onion, garlic and seeds.. |
 ..forming the dough into our chosen shapes. |
 ..kaisers, baton, bloomers.. |
 ..we required some .. |
 ..skill. The dough was then placed.. |
 ..on a floured baking tray.. |
 ..and cheese and seeds were.. |
 ..sprinlked on top. Look at our shapes.. |
 ..a fantastic fish.. |
 .. a knobbly cottage.. |
 ..a seedy and cheesey kaiser. |
 These wer popped in the oven and voila! |
 Don't they look.. |
 ..delicious.. |
 ..crusty.. |

 We did the sniff test.. |

 ..garlicky.. |
 ..the it was time for tasting. |
 Yummy.. |
 ..delicious.. |
 ..what's that in my bread? |
 We were supposed.. |
 ..to leave some to take home.. |
 ..but some of us .. |
 ..scoffed the lot. |
 We will certainly make it again.. |
 ..at home. |
 What delicious Baking Day! |
