Bread. It is the food that everyone has a passionate opinion on and about. It is the one food item that is at the centre of most people’s diets. It is reliable, and it is dependable; it feeds, it satisfies, it nourishes; it’s always there, even in times when it has been vilified as being no good (for your health). Bread has and will always be around, it will continue to play a central part in our daily living, for bread is life itself.
In this period of Covid-19, many people are cooking more than ever. They have become daily and not just weekly cooks. One of the things that people have been making the most is bread. It is particularly rewarding seeing and hearing first-time bread bakers gush with glee at their success of making bread. It is an achievement like no other; it’s like you created something, nurtured it and watched it grow (literally), and then it comes out of the oven perfectly browned. You did that yourself! You made bread! Keep smiling, be proud of yourself. Embrace the hope that wells up in you that all will be well… you can make bread!
