About this Event
Vermont 4-H is excited to offer Bake for Good, a free program from King Arthur Baking Company to 4-H’ers in grades 4–7! This engaging experience is built around three simple goals: learn, bake, and share.
Students will explore the math and science behind making bread from scratch. With just a few ingredients (some even provided!), a simple recipe, and guidance from a Bake for Good instructor, they’ll prepare their bread dough. One recipe makes enough dough for 2 loaves of bread-one to enjoy at home and one to share with someone in need or as an act of kindness.
During the live session, students will work along from home with a Bake for Good instructor to prepare their dough, up to the point where their dough is kneaded and set aside to rise. While the dough rises, the instructor will demonstrate several shaping techniques to get the bread ready for baking.
After the session, students can choose to continue the process—shaping and baking their bread the same day—or the instructor will show them how they can refrigerate the dough overnight and finish baking the next day. Sharing is an important part of the Bake for Good program. Each recipe makes two things (loaves or rolls), one for students to have at home with their families and the other to share. In the mission of 4-H and spreading kindness, participants will send a reflection and photo of your shared loaf to a 4-H Educator to earn a ribbon as a recongition of achievement.
