Braiding dough in a Bake For Good demonstration

How it works

A King Arthur Bake for Good (BFG) instructor, accompanied by two student assistants from your school, will present an informative and engaging 50-minute demonstration. We recommend scheduling a full hour to allow for questions. When visiting schools, we present to entire grades or multiple grade levels rather than individual classes.

The BFG instructor will arrive at your school approximately 45 minutes before the assembly to set up and prepare for the presentation. Your school should provide two 8-foot tables, a small trash can, a TV/Smartboard or LCD projector with a screen, and a baking kit. The instructor will bring all necessary ingredients and tools for making bread dough, along with a camera for projecting the demonstration onto the screen or TV.

You select two confident assistants from your school who enjoy presenting in front of others. They do not need baking experience but should be able to follow directions and feel comfortable in front of their peers. The instructor will meet with these students about 20 minutes before the demonstration to brief them on their roles.

Flour and supplies for the baking kits will be sent one to two weeks before the demonstration date. You will assemble these kits, which students will take home on the day of the demonstration. We recommend that students bake their bread over the weekend. The entire recipe process takes about 3.5 hours from start to finish, which may be difficult to fit in after school.

Please carefully review the In Person Planning Guide for detailed instruction on setting up and preparing for the demonstration.

Learn, Bake — and Share

At King Arthur Baking Company, building community through baking lies at the heart of our mission. The BFG bread recipe makes two loaves or several dozen rolls, your students will extend the joy of their baking experience by sharing half of their baked goods as a donation to a food shelf, or as an act of kindness.
