Bread & Butter Making Workshop

Let your child roll up their sleeves, get a little messy, and explore the exciting world of food science!

Course overview:

In this workshop, children will:

• 👨‍🍳 Make their own fresh bread and butter from scratch
• 🧪 Discover the science behind baking and churning
• 🍞 Bring home their handmade treats to enjoy with the family!

Course content:

🥖 Part 1: Bread Making

• Mix, knead and shape their own dough using everyday ingredients
• Learn about natural yeast vs chemical leavening: what makes bread rise?
• Observe fermentation in action and how bubbles and air pockets form
