Bread made with love

I really love cooking all sorts of things and there aren't many things that stump me but bread is definitely one thing which I have yet to conquer. I think it is because my chinese heritage never exposed to me to bread making so I never grew up watching my mum/dad or grandparents rolling out dough.  The whole idea of mixing flour with water and kneeding is quite intimidating for me so I currently have bread on the 'things to do one day..." list.  Fortunately, I have wonderful neighbours, Mr & Mrs Hungries (a bit cheeky as they are hungarian!) who have mastered making bread at home. Mr Hungries has spent about 18 months perfecting home made bread and I am so spoilt to be able to have this regularly of date! This bread is a luscious wholemeal organic sourdough loaf which he made with his bare hands and lots of passion. The note he wrote us when he delivered it to us was "The bread was baked this morning, and it was somewhat warm when I 'delivered' it. I am quite excited with this one; it is a sexy bread. It has a dark thin but crunchy crust and a moist and velvety texture on the inside".  I am incredibly touched by the passion that people put in making their food. More of us should be like that so that we love every minute of making healthy delicious food instead of eating horrible processed food which will just end up making us all sick.  I hope that you all get to put your heart and soul in your food preparation - when you do, you will discover a new life joy! And, yes, the bread tasted extremely sexy....!
