Bread!!!!

Today in room 2 we had Mrs Hurly and we made some Soda Bread and some normal White Bread.

Top- the white bread before it was baked

This was the steps to making the White Bread!

Step 1. We put in 3 3/4 Tablespoons of milk powder into the bowl

Step 2. We put in 4 1/2 Teaspoons of yeast into to the bowl

Step 3. We put in 3 3/4 tablespoons of sugar into the bowl

Step 4. We put in 3 3/4 of a teaspoon of oil into the bowl

Bottom- after the white bread was baked



Step 5. pour in 555mls of warm water and mix it in

Step 6. We added in 6 3/4 of a cup of flour and stirred it all in together

After we had poured in the flour we kneaded the bread by pushing your palm forward and pulling it back. It was soft and stretchy and we had no problems. It was very easy to make. we knew it was ready when it was soft and moist. After we had kneaded enough Mrs Hurly put glad wrap over top and put in a warm spot to rise.    

Mt Taranaki

Mt Taranaki

Located:Taranaki, North Island, New zealand also known as Mt Egmont. It is surrounded by dairy farm and sweeping surf beaches to its west.

 

Legend

As the legend stands Mt Taranaki use to stand by Mt Ruapehu hundreds of years ago. Until the ground shook and the sky darkened Taranaki, Ruapehu and Tongariro fought for Mt Pihanga. Tongariro won the battle and the sad, miserable, weeping Mt Taranaki burst out with tears which formed the Whanganui river and was trapped and smeared by the Pouakai ranges. Also people say it use to shand where lake Taupo now is.

History

For many centuries it was called Mt Taranaki by the Māori. The Māori word Tara means mountain peak. Would you believe MT Egmont was named by captain Cook in 1770 when he travelled to New Zealand. Mt Egmont first appeared in 1896.

There you have it Mt Taranaki has been dormant for over 250 years..
