Year 9 and 10 Food Technology students have been learning about bread and the different ways in which we can make bread.

They made their own rēwena bread starters from their choice of kumara or potato, feeding the starter over a period of 10 days before making their bread. Henri Saurat from BreadsNZ came to school with his wood fired oven to demonstrate how the oven works. He made pizzas from his own sourdough bread starter which uses wild yeasts in a similar process to the rēwena starter.
