You will get to experiment with making a quick bread of your choice. You can choose to make whatever kind of quick bread you would like to make; it can be an apple-cinammon bread to a zucchini bread. Use this video below as your base or choose another quick bread recipe that you like.

You will be making TWO loaves. One loaf will follow the recipe that you chose, and the second loaf will have at least one ingredient changed to make it HEALTHIER. The video offers ideas for making the recipe healthier and there are also ideas in the reading for this unit. You will need to discuss the change you made in the recipe as part of your self-evaluation and also get your adult evaluator to tell you how both loaves taste. Which did you like better? Why?

Download this document and fill it in as you do your lab. In your recipe put an asterisk (*) and list your healthy ingredient(s) and how much you used. You will need to complete three sections for your lab sheet.

LAB INFORMATION

1. You will watch a demonstration of the recipe above. Fill in the lab sheet with your recipe. Then you will gather everything that you need and follow the recipe.

PHOTOS

2. For all labs, you need to take a minimum of 8 pictures of you preparing this product. 

• You must be clearly visible, including your face, in at least 4 of the pictures.  You can take selfies or have a friend or family member take photos of you in action.
• You must clearly show the steps you have taken to make the product. Take photos of yourself measuring the ingredients, dicing, sifting, cutting in, folding, rolling, whisking, flipping, etc. 
• You must have photos of your final product. Take an image of it as a whole. Then have a final presentation image where you plate your product so that it is ready to serve. An example would be showing the pan of fresh bread from the oven. Then find a decorative plate or tray to artfully display a slice or two of bread. You can even add a nice napkin and something to drink with it.

EVALUATION

3. You must fill out an evaluation of your product. This includes an evaluation done by yourself and an adult. Be sure to use descriptive words and discuss the process, the product, expectations, previous experience, and anything else you observed while making this product. Use your five senses in your descriptions. Be detailed and creative with your word choice. Ask the adult who is tasting your food to do the same in their evaluation.
