Bread in the Bag Program

The bread in a Bag program, sponsored by the wheat growers of Idaho, is now in its 21st year with over 10,000 fourth grade students participating last year.

The Bread in the Bag program is an educational, fun, hands-on activity allowing kids to make their own wheat food product (bread, pizza, pretzels, tortillas) from scratch that can be baked in the school’s cafeteria, or at home while they learn the history of wheat, its nutritional importance, and the economic benefits of Idaho’s wheat industry to the state of Idaho.

The Idaho Wheat Commission provides a Teachers Guide with detailed instructions on how to conduct the activity and Student Guides, which include 7 recipes and fun facts about wheat.
