Our second batch of Viking bread

We started by measuring out the flour and then added our liquids - yeast, honey and warm water.

Here is the yeast mixture. We learnt that yeast needs warm water and some sort of sugar to activate it.

Here is our bread mixture after we had all had a go at kneading it. This puts air into the bread and should make it nice and light.

We left the dough to rise after break time. Then we kneaded it agin and shaped it ready for proving. Here is our bread rising on the window ledge in our classroom.

We loved the finished bread and enjoyed tasting it!
