Your task
Put the steps in order.
- Maize flour has no gluten, so bakers mix in some wheat or rye flour to help the dough hold together. Boiling water and the oven 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
Maize came to Portugal from the Americas in the 16th century and became a staple crop in the Minho, where broa is still baked in wood-fired ovens.
