Reception Make Hedgehog Bread

Date: 5th Dec 2022 @ 9:31pm

After being visited by Hedgehog Rescue, the children had fun making hedgehog bread. They weighed out the ingredients (strong white flour, yeast, oil, water and salt) and then mixed them all in a bowl. They each had a go at kneading the dough and then after three balls of dough were moulded, using their hands, into a hedgehog shape they had great fun snipping at the dough to create the quills on the hedgehog. It was then left to rise before being baked in the oven and enjoyed by all in the afternoon!

"You have to push the dough really hard to make the bread" Harper.

"The prickles are called quills- I cut them with my scissors to make it look spikey" Lennox.

" The bread got bigger in the bowl before we cooked it in the oven!" Sheraa.
