How to Make Bread: Change Active to Passive

Rewrite the following using the passive voice.

Note that you only have to change the steps – not the introduction or conclusion.

Bread is eaten in most parts of the world, but not everyone knows how to bake it. I am going to show you how the steps involved in baking bread.

First, measure the correct amount of flour and warm water. Next, mix the flour and water together in a mixing bowl. Add yeast, salt and sugar. Next, knead the mixture until it feels almost dry. Leave the mixture for about an hour in a warm place. It will grow in size. After this, knead the mixture again. Make sure the mixture is not sticky when you touch it. Then leave the dough in a baking tin for about an hour to give it time to rise. Finally, the dough is put into a preheated oven for about forty minutes.

It can be seen that making bread is not difficult as long as the correct procedure is followed. You will love the taste and smell of your freshly-baked bread!

Next: Review Passive.
