Harvest Bread
Canadian Thanksgiving is a celebration of harvest, and what I found referenced over and over again was Harvest Bread. This is an awesome project kids can enjoy creating, shaping the dough into a plait or a wheatsheaf.
Ingredients
Method
- Separate the egg and use only the white for the glaze. Use a fork to mix it with the water to create a glaze.
- Set your oven at 425°F (220°C).
- Sift the flour and add the yeast and salt. Make a well in the centre and pour the warm water and oil into the centre.
- Mix into a firm dough, adding a little more water or flour if the consistency is too dry or sticky.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface and have some fun kneading it for 5 minutes.
- Shape the dough into either a plait or a wheatsheaf.
- Once you have finished your design, brush it with the egg glaze.
- Get mom or dad to carefully place your bread onto a greased baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Tap the bread to see if it sounds hollow. This way you’ll know that it’s properly cooked!
- Cool on a wire tray.
