Activity 2
Making bread with Seeds
11
The big bread investigation
Did you know there are over 200 different types
of bread?
12
The big bread investigation
The grain that is used to make flour for bread is
processed and how it is processed makes a
difference. Grain used in white flour is
processed differently than the grain used to make
wholemeal flour.
13
The big bread investigation
Did you know that varieties of bread, such as rye
bread or even rice bread, are simply variations
using different grains other than traditional
wheat.
14
The big bread investigation
Bread is an important part of our diet because it
is packed with carbohydrates that give us energy.
15
The big bread investigation
Using worksheet 10a, The big bread investigation,
can you decide which are the healthier choices?
Read the descriptions of the different types of
bread carefully for clues!
16
The big bread investigation
What choices did you make?
17
The big bread investigation
Croissants Croissants are high in fat because
they are made with butter so are not a healthier
choice.
18
The big bread investigation
Wholemeal pitta bread Wholemeal pitta bread
contains more fibre than white pitta. It is a
healthier choice.
19
The big bread investigation
White roll The flour used in white bread is
processed and the part of the grain that contains
fibre has been removed. It is not a healthier
choice.
20
The big bread investigation
Rye bread Rye bread is high in fibre which is
important in helping keep our intestines healthy.
It is a healthier choice.
21
The big bread investigation
Wholemeal bread Wholemeal bread contains the
whole of the grain. No goodness has been removed
when the grain was processed into flour. It is a
healthier choice.
22
The big bread investigation
Baguette Baguettes can be high in salt and
contain up to a fifth of your daily intake of
salt so are not a healthier choice.
23
The big bread investigation
Why not take part in a big bread investigation
taste test? Taste all the different breads and
think about what they look like, their smell,
texture and flavour and then decide if you like
or dislike them!

and fruit can be used as a sweetener which means
you can use less sugar!
