Cooking with children should be fun…and delicious! Every experience with children should be enjoyed and encompasses all aspects of education; numeracy, literacy, language, social skills – just to name a few.

Preschoolers in particular have grasped the concept of recipes and will ask about quantities and what’s next. Before cooking, sit down with the children and talk through the ingredients and the different types of measuring utensils required, put them in order and look at cooking like a science experiment

Here is an incredibly simple recipe for cheese and bacon rolls, which is really easy, and what I like about it, is that sit can be done in different stages which is perfect for children who tend to get easily distracted.

INGREDIENTS: 

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• – 1 tablespoon yeast
• – 2 teaspoons caster sugar
• – 1/4 teaspoon salt
• – 1 cup warm milk
• – 2 tablespoons melted butter
• – olive oil
• – 3 rashers bacon
• – 1/2 cup shredded cheese

METHOD: 

Add 2.5 cups flour

Next, 1 tablespoon of yeast

Add 2 teaspoons of caster sugar

Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir the dry ingredients together creating a well in the centre

Add the cup of warmed milk with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Using a wooden spoon stir util the ingredients are combined

Then start kneading

Knead…

Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface and continue kneading for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic

Let it rise…

This is the dough after about 45 minutes

Chop up the bacon & shred some cheese

Separate the dough into 8 portions and put onto a lightly floured tray

Spread the cheese and bacon over the top

Put into a pre-heated oven of about 180-190C – your rolls are ready to cook

Back for about 15-20m mins or until golden brown

These are best eaten warn…Bon Appetit!
