Technicraft Week 6

Today we have cooked tacos with coleslaw. Inside it had a cooked mince with taco sauce, and coleslaw if you wanted. We ate the tacos and coleslaw at Pakuranga Intermediate School. When we had completed our cooking and delicious meal, we had to write out what we are going to cook next week, which is bread rolls.

Ingredients for bread roll:

1. In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. To the yeast mixture, add the oil, salt, and 2 cups flour.
3. Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

I can't wait!
