Bread and Butter in a Bag

Kakapo Class have been learning about local and NZ history.  We combined this inquiry learning with our chemistry focus buy making bread and butter from scratch.

We made both the bread and butter in ziplock bags.  We learned that yeast is a living microorganism that feeds on sugar and multiplies when it has food, warmth and water. As the yeast grows it creates a gas called carbon dioxide which is what makes the bread rise and go fluffy.  

With the butter we put cream in a bag and SHOOK for a long time.  The cream changed from white to yellow.  We put the buttermilk in a jug and put the butter in a bowl.

It tasted DELICIOUS!! 

Have you ever made bread or butter by hand?
