This unit provides an opportunity to develop children's understanding of, and skills in, working with food through a range of activities related to bread products. They gain knowledge and understanding from investigating existing products and exploring the functions and properties of ingredients. They then draw on this knowledge when designing and making their own bread products. They use a range of skills and techniques using basic food tools and equipment and taking account of appropriate safety and hygiene issues.
This unit can be adapted by focusing on an alternative type of baked food product eg biscuits, cakes, pizza or snack bars. There may be opportunities for working with industry on this project eg a visit to a bakery, inviting a food expert to work in the classroom.
Unit 5D 'Biscuits' is an appropriate alternative to this unit.
