Do you know what gluten is? well room 12 does

Gluten is found in flour. Gluten is protein. Gluten can trap air in baking. A lot of gluten is sticky and stretchy. Protein is found in soy/meat and dairy as well as muscles. protein builds muscles.

We had to make the dough and then leave the dough over night. the dough is made out of water and flour. we made the dough because we wanted to see what gluten did.

After, we washed the dough. It was really sticky and gooey but we had to wash it away so it was not gooey any more. When we washed it we ended up with a little bit of gluten. we Used some of our dough to make fried bread. there was to much gluten so that is why it was too chewy. It was really hard but I still did like it.

Gluten is found in flour.Glutenin and gliadin mixd  together and make gluten.Gluten traps air.All different  flours have different amounts of gluten.

 

Cake  has a little bit of gluten got  only  enough for it to be able to  stand up.And   bread his got a loot of gluten. And you can see the gluten in bread.So that is gluten.

 

What you can make out of gluten if you cook it it is  fnebread.And if you rinse it it is stretchy.

I’m going to tell you about garden to table .We go to room ten because they have a kitchen full of cooking equipment.Some people go in the garden,and some people go in the kitchen.we need parant helpers because we don’t have anough people to help. The adults help us with weighing, chopping and heavy stuff. The garden people go in the garden because   They grow the stuff that we  eat. Do you want to know about why we wash our hands? You don’t  too bad! Wash your hands because otherwise you will get germs enough food and we will get sick.  For example someone might of picked their nose and they didn’t wash their hands  then they ate with  their  fingers and then they will get sick.   Do you want to know why we be careful around knives ? Here is your answer.Knives  have a very sharp blade that you cut   Yourself on. Okay now if you know about garden to Table   Maybe you can go one day .

What has useful ingredients , a growing garden , 33 wonderful children and a yummy food feast? Well I’ll tell you what, Garden to table!!! Garden to table is when half of the class is in the kitchen and the other half is doing the gardening.Each week we switch what were doing so that some people can help with the gardening  and some people can help with the cooking.On Wednesday I was doing gardening!!The first thing we did was go to the greenhouse  because we needed gloves. After that we went to the top hill . Me,Paul Parerimu and Lylah were grabbing some pegs and putting them in the greenhouse.Then we grab some rakes and shovels  and started to rake and shovel. At lunch we went to room ten because the food was ready. They made cucumber sushi and banana cake.But the one that caught my eye was the pizza, with those yummy Potatoes,  mmmmmm. Any way after eating I was helping with the dishes.I like garden to table, there’s nothing more fun.

Yesterday we went to Garden to Table.We made ANZAC biscuits, Risotto and a salad – they all had a secret ingredient.  Have you been to Garden to Table because if you have not been here’s what happens; half of the class goes gardening  and the other half stays inside and cooks.  I was in the cooking team, most of the ingredients are from the garden.  In the garden we planted plants and we lifted some really really heavy wood.  Me, Torrance, Taj, Alfie and Whaea Trish watered the plants – do you know why we water the plants? because they need water to grow!
We go to room ten because we help the plants grow, next we need to be very careful with knives and that’s why we have parents supervise us sometimes. The second time I was in the garden team when we came back from the garden there was sushi and banana cake, every thing was AMAZING!!! I loved the pizza and the banana cake I hope you love it and I hope you have a really really good time at Garden to Table.

Have you ever been to garden to table because if you’re in the kitchen you have to use claw hands. we have to have parents to help us in the kitchen. we go to rm 10 because it has cooking equipment and a kitchen.so the gardeners do a lot of hard work in the garden when there finished they get a nice meal.so that is the end.
