4. ”Team rye bred”
The pupils in grade nine were very interested in baking rye bred. They have two hours home economics in a week, both on one day. As it takes more time to make the rye bread ready, they were mixing the sour dough on their own time on the first day and on the second day the bread was baked during the lessons. The hole activity package went very well and some pupils even took the recipe and dough to bake the rye bread at home. The pupils said, that they will bake the bread still many times. All pupils in the group said, that the taste of bread is very delicious.
