Your task
Put every job in the right box.
- Bolo-rei is a sweet yeast dough. The oven and the bread knife are adult jobs.
- Simulation: heat, ovens, hot oil and knives are only pretend here. At home, always cook with an adult.
- Allergens: check the label with an adult (gluten, milk, egg, nuts, peanut, shellfish, soy, sesame). We never ask about your allergies.
Score
- Safe kitchen — Adult, clean hands, cool handles: you cooked safely.
- Technique — Right order, right amounts, right timing.
- Food knowledge — You understood why it works — and where it comes from.
Around the world
Bolo-rei came to Portugal from France in the 19th century. A dried bean and a small gift used to be hidden inside, but for safety the gift was stopped long ago, and many bakeries now leave out the bean too.
