Baking Basics
At birthday parties and other celebrations, kids will beam with pride when they serve their delicious creations, be it a layer cake frosted with chocolate icing or an imaginatively decorated train cake. They will learn the technique of rolling and shaping pastry dough when they make a free-form apple tart and flaky fruit-filled turnovers. For the closest thing to baking magic, they can watch yeast dough rise and puff up. This lesson is deliciously demonstrated by our savory focaccia and cinnamon-raisin bread.
