Pupils will gain understanding of how wheat grows, how wheat plants are processed into grain and then flour. Students will undertake a bread-making activity that culminates in their bread being baked on our wood fired oven.
The learning session begins with your students making dough from freshly milled flour. Whilst the dough is proving, a member of our learning team will lead a short interactive presentation on how wheat grows and how it is milled into flour. This part can be tailored depending on Key Stage, Subject and desired learning outcomes. After a short break, the students then shape their dough before taking it over to the wood-fired oven to be baked. This ends the learning session. However, we recommend that you and your group follow our bread trail to discover our GROW area, watermill, and much more.

We are the UK’s Food Museum, located in East Anglia, ‘Britain’s Breadbasket’. Our mission is to connect people with where our food comes from and the impact of our choices: past, present and future.
We all eat. Food is culture and is an avenue for everyday creativity. Our collection is rooted in East Anglia and we use it to tell broad and inclusive stories.
From cheese-making to brewing, historic breads to seasonal eating, we are here to engage audiences with the heritage of food and the communities who grow and make it. We aim to explore themes connected by food – social, historical, technological, industrial, environmental – and to give visitors hands-on experiences which bring processes alive, teach skills and share memories.
