Simple Bread Recipe Eyfs

One of our favourite recipes to cook with kids is bread. A simple tradition we have is to bake a loaf of bread at home once a week with the kids. This easy bread recipe is ideal as you can use it for a 2lb loaf or you can make it into some extra cute little hedgehog rolls. The kneading, watching it rise and then enjoying the flavor filled finished loaf is fantastic for the kids and it does taste extra nice as well.

When I set about making bread with the kids we tried a few different recipes. But we settled on this one as it’s easy to remember and they can do a lot of it themselves.

Bread

Although I normally cook with the kids on the kitchen counter with them standing on a footstool – because of kneading the bread I have found that the kids find it easier to make bread at the table where they can knead the dough easier.

2. Make a well in the middle and add in the oil and the warm water (it should be hand hot and no more).

4. A tip that I learnt from watching The Great British Bake Off – lightly oil your hands and the dough won’t attach as easily.

5. It takes about 5 – 10 minutes to knead the dough into a nice smooth dough, and I often find myself taking a turn with the kids as well.

6. Once the dough is kneaded and smooth make into shapes that you want and then put it in a warm place (room temperature in spring and summer is fine) to let the dough rise and to double in size (the proofing process) covered with plastic wrap or towel – this takes around an hour.

10. Then bake for 15 – 20 minutes for rolls, 20 – 30 minutes for loaves. They should have a golden brown crust and when turned over the bread when tapped should be hollow sounding.
