Badenoch 4-H: Making bread

The first meeting of the Badenoch 4-H Club was held on Oct. 21 at the home of Joan Law.

The roll call was “My favourite kind of bread.”

The manuals and recipe books were distributed. It was decided to name our club the “Badenoch Busy Bakers.”

Law explained the role of each ingredient in bread: yeast, flour, liquid, salt and sugar.

We talked about ways to help our club. Ideas included being a good listener to be able to follow the instructions, and to assist with clean up.

Lisa Bratina-DeJonge demonstrated how to make whole wheat twist loaf.

The members divided into pairs to make the bread. They took it home to rise and bake. Marion Hunter brought treats of cookies and squares.
