First, Benny mixes flour and water. He adds a little bit of salt. He puts in some sugar, too. He mixes it all up in a big bowl. He makes dough.

Then, Benny rolls out the dough. He cuts it into shapes. He makes circles and squares. He even makes stars!

Next, Benny puts the shapes in the oven. The oven is very hot. He waits. Soon, the shapes turn brown. They smell yummy!
