Introduction:
Home bread-making is fast becoming a lost art.
Modern day technology (i.e., the electronic bread
machine) has replaced the fun of mixing and kneading
as well as the measurement, weight, physical activity
and the other life skills such as communication, critical
thinking and decision-making that go into breadmaking.
Besides these, youth will find that some of the
processes included in bread-making can be integrated
into other school subject units such as: social science,
geography, math, nutrition, chemistry and/or biology.
This fact sheet promotes adult-youth partnerships as
adult leaders share some of their bread-making skills
with youth. Youth groups will enjoy the fun and the
skills that will last them a life-time.
