Introduction to the Making of Doughnut

Earlier, the children mentioned that they wanted to try to make doughnut on their own. I'm interested in baking as well. Therefore, I prepared some books on doughnuts for the children to browse through. We went through briefly of the types of doughnuts that mentioned in the book - cake doughnuts, yeast doughnuts, baked doughnuts & french cruller. We can only choose one, therefore, we choose to make the yeast doughnuts.

I found a video that shows how to make doughnuts from the basic. As some of the steps I couldn't do it in front of them due to insufficient time, hopefully with the help of the video, the children could somehow have some idea about it.

After watching the video, basically, the children could tell me some ingredients that we needed such as flour, sugar, butter, salt, eggs etc. I believe they are not that familiar with yeast. Tomorrow, we shall try to make some homemade doughnuts in the school.
