Model answer

The pictures show the different stages of the process of making bread.
It is quite a lengthy process with at least 8 steps. In this report, I shall
explain how to make bread.

First, the ingredients are weighed on a scale. Next, the measured

ingredients are blended in a mixing bowl. When they are completely
mixed, they become dough. This dough is then kneaded till it has an
elastic feel to it. When the kneading process is completed, the dough
is ready to be rolled into the desired shape. After this, it is placed in a
baking tin and given time to rise. After the dough has risen in the tin,
it is placed in the oven for baking. Finally, when the cooking time is
over, the bread should be tested to see if it is fully baked by tapping
on it. If the bread sounds hollow, it is ready. Now you can relax and
enjoy your freshly baked bread.
