We really enjoy the story of Te Maori Bread Man and decided that it was a great one to revist for Maori Language Week.
We told the story at mat time with some of our friends adding the different characters of our native creatures that all wanted to eat Te Maori Bread Man.
"Oma Oma as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm Te Maori Bread Man"
As we all enjoyed the story so much we decided to make our own Maori bread to try. First of all we had to make what is known as the "sponge" we mixed milk, water, yeast, sugar and a little bit of flour together and then we had to wait until it started to froth. It took quite a while and we kept eagerly checking
Finally the sponge was ready and it was time to make the dough. We added salt flour and oil into a bowl and then stirred in the sponge being careful not to over mix. Then we had to do even more waiting for the dough to double in size.
The dough was really sticky. We each got a little bit to rub on our hands so we could see how it felt.
Then it was time to gently roll it out. Once it was rolled it was cut into squares and then fried.
Finally it was lunch time and time to try our bread it was delicious!
