Foolproof Bread Recipe


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I hope this is in the right place.

I'm looking for a tried and tested simple recipe for making bread rolls to use in Nursery. I would really appreciate one that has worked before!

 

Thanks

Rosetta

we use strong flour, salt and make up dried yeast to ferment as on tin! Children love to see the changes in dried yeast when mixed with water and sugar, smells looks etc etc only takes 5 mins - make sure water is hot enough , not boiling but it will withstand a high temp of water before killing yeast off.

 

Mix together to make a dough amount of water varies as it has many variables, flour, temp, weather etc. we just know when its right!

 

Biggest thing for bread is to allow to prove (rise) for 1 hour or til double,( we speed this up by a short burst of 20-30secs in microwave, leave for a short while then repeat, or else put it on top of cooker while it is heating up)

then knock back (take air out)

knead, and make into rolls,

Prove again bake usually 15 mins.

 

You can leave out the first proving but it is usually denser bread. More you knead the better the bread. Children can do this with own rolls.

 

Afraid we all seem to be experienced cooks in our setting so do not measure ingredients for this, just know when it is right. Even make fairy cakes etc using spoons of ingredients not weighing

 

we do manage all this in 2.5 hr session

I use a Sainsbury's bread mix!

 

Mould the dough into balls, and then get the children to snip at the dough. Where they have snipped, the dough will make little spikes. Add 2 currants for eyes, and you've got hedgehog bread - they're well cute!
