Kim Terrell, FCS Agent, recently visited Mrs. Rhinehardt's Foods 1 and Foods 2 classes at Hayesville High School to discuss the science of bread making.  Students learned about the different leavening agents, including live active yeast and chemical leavening agents, baking soda and powder.  After the food science lesson, students were able to participate in making pumpkin quick bread muffins.
