Let's Make Monkey Bread: A Showstopping and Easy Breakfast

This is an intermediate cooking class. Learners should be comfortable using the microwave and oven and have basic skills with a knife.

Learners will prepare their own monkey bread as they watch a slideshow with video to show them how to complete each step. I will help them with each step and answer any questions that come up! Class will end as learners put their monkey bread in the oven. I will teach them how to identify when their bread is finished and how to invert the pan to release their bread onto a plate. These steps will be performed by learners AFTER class is finished. I will be available for questions or help through the Outschool messaging platform. 
We will discuss knife and microwave safety as we go throughout our class. 

**Please supervise your learner as they use the microwave, the oven and a knife.**

In this one time class learners will be introduced to the basic cooking skills:
 * learn food safety
     - frequent hand washing
  * discuss the steps in cooking and reading a recipe 
 * how to safely melt butter in the microwave
 * how to correctly measure ingredients for this recipe (we will measure using teaspoons and cups)
 * how to be safe when using a knife
 * how to safely take things out of the oven 
 * the importance of cleaning up

Class will begin with learners introducing themselves by sharing their favorite hobby and why they like it. 
We will look over the recipe and gather all the ingredients and tools we need. We will then make our yummy treat together. 

Learners will have their own copy of the recipe to print out before class! We will also look it over on the screen together. All steps will be illustrated by slides with video presentation to show students how to perform each action. 

I am an open and friendly teacher who encourages conversation and discussion during our class. I will try to teach your student how cooking can be a social and happy time.
