Today we had a special visitor! Brady's grandmother came today to make pretzels with us all! Even though her name is Janne Giles, we all called her "Mini" just like Brady. She had children help her make dough using yeast, water, salt, honey and flour. Then they took turns cranking the dough hook in the special bucket made for kneading dough. We set that dough aside and Mini took out a bowl of dough she'd made earlier (it had already risen) and each child was given a chunk of dough to mold into a shape. Most were shaped like their first initials! Then Mini helped each child brush on an egg wash and sprinkle either sugar and cinnamon or salt. Fifteen short minutes later they were out of the oven and toasty warm! Because of this special late morning snack, your child may not have eaten all of his or her lunch! Boy were those pretzels yummy! Thank you, Mini!
The slide show starts with Mini showing her dough bucket and greasing it so the dough wouldn't stick. Then you'll see children helping her add ingredients! At the end you'll see some colorful dough...Mini made each child a baggie of play-doh to take home! Boy, Mini was a big hit in our classroom!
