This summer holiday I ran a bread making workshop for children(age 4-11) where we made pizza and shaped rolls. Last year on my summer cookery club we made both focaccia and pizza so most of the pupils attending this year knew the basics of kneading dough. Bread dough is such a fabulous medium for children …

Pain d’Epi (Wheat Stalk Bread)
My breadmaking has fallen by the wayside recently. Life and lack of organisation got in the way. After another tasteless pappy supermarket loaf I decided to get back on the breadmaking wagon.

Fruit Buns
These are fabulous fruit buns that are based on a savoury tomato & basil bread recipe I’ve been using in classes. They are perfect for introducing basic bread in a short lesson time because there is no yeast, so no rising time to worry about. It uses a surprising ingredient to make the bread lovely …

Baked Jam Doughnuts

Each day is themed and one of the days is America. We couldn’t do an American themed day without making doughnuts and the fact I have a slight fear of …

Calzone - bread making for kids
Take kids, flour, water and yeast and for some it’s epitome of hell. For me I love it, well it is my day job. I’m one of the rare breed that will take your children off your hands, let them make a mess in the kitchen and I promise to clear up afterwards. There is …
