  3. Ingredients and Measurements (10 minutes):
    • Discuss the importance of following recipes accurately, especially when it comes to measurements.
    • Explain the role of each ingredient in bread and pastry making (e.g., flour provides structure, yeast helps with rising, sugar adds sweetness).
    • Hand out the bread and pastry recipes to the students and go through the ingredients and measurements together.
  4. Types of Bread and Pastries (15 minutes):
    • Introduce different types of bread and pastries, such as baguettes, croissants, cinnamon rolls, and scones.

    • Guide students through each step, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and proper techniques.
    • If possible, bake the bread or pastries in the oven and let the students taste the final product.
  6. Reflection and Discussion (10 minutes):
    • Ask students to reflect on their experience of making bread or pastries.
    • Discuss any challenges they faced and what they learned from the activity.
    • Encourage students to share their thoughts on the importance of bread and pastries in different cultures.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.
