Let’s bake – make a bread roll

What you need 

• A bread mix or a simple bread recipe that uses fast-acting yeast. 

What to do 

1. While you make the dough, encourage your child to do as much of the mixing as they can.  
2. When it is ready to knead, show them how to push, pull and knead the dough.  
3. You could use the timer on your phone and tell them it needs kneading until the timer finishes – if your child seems to be getting tired, take turns to knead the dough. 
4. After the dough has risen give your toddler a small amount and show them how to roll it with their hands to make a bread roll.
