Life Skills Bread Baking Program
from King Arthur Flour
Baking is a great hands-on way for kids to learn math, science, and cultural traditions, all while having fun. Through their free Life Skills Bread Baking Program, King Arthur Flour has taught more than 60,000 school children how to bake bread. In turn, they've shared this bread with shelters for the homeless and local food kitchens.
How does the program work?
We present one or more 50-minute assemblies for students - a fun combination of baking science, technique and bread-making know-how - and provide everything necessary for each student to make two loaves of bread at home: all-purpose and white whole wheat flour, yeast, a recipe booklet, and even bread bags and twist ties! Students keep one loaf to enjoy at home and bring the other back to school to donate to a community organization chosen by your school.
What does the school do?
Enthusiastically supports and promotes the KAF Life Skills Bread Baking Program
Coordinates the assembly arrangements and use of classroom training materials
