Aimed at 7-8-year-olds, this recipe will help kids to develop cooking skills that they can apply to lots of other recipes. They will pour ingredients from a container with a spout and get hands-on kneading the dough. An adult will need to put the dough in the oven, but the children will observe how it is done safely, with oven gloves. 

This toolkit contains a recipe, along with ideas about how you could include it in your lesson. Take a look at the recipe below and refer to it alongside the teaching resources.

The cooking skills and recipes have been developed in collaboration with the British Nutritional Foundation.
