You will need: yeast, sugar, wholemeal flour and white flour and a large bowl

1 Measure 3 cups of warm water, stir in 2 table spoons of sugar, pour in 2 table spoons of yeast stirring briskly. Put this bowl of yeast and sugar mixture somewhere warm (30/50 degrees) for ten minutes until it is frothy

2 Measure 3 cups of plain flour and 3 cups of wholemeal flour

3 Stir in the yeast mixture and mix well

4 Put onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 10 minutes Put the dough somewhere warm (30/50 degree) for 15 minutes until the dough rises to about twice its size. Knead dough again for ten minutes adding more flour if it is sticky.

5 Roll dough into small balls and place onto a baking sheet. Leave the rolls to rise in a warm place for ten minutes

6 Bake at 220 degree for about ten minutes. Remove from the oven when the rolls are brown. Put on a cooling tray and cover with a damp cloth so that the crusts stay soft.

Then build a beautiful house for any visiting fairies.
The bottom of a tree is a great place for a fairy house or garden.
Use leaves, sticks, stones and flowers to make fairy-sized furniture.
Can you make a table and seats, food for a feast, lanterns, beds or anything else?
Add some lichen—it would be great in an acorn cup for some fairy soup!
