Every month I like to bake with Bread Baking
Day and every year I like to bake along with World
Bread Day. Like Zorra says: ‘The idea of World Bread is to honor our
daily bread and be grateful that we have sufficient food. Not all of us are
this lucky’.
I looked on the Internet for 'Hungry people in
the world in 2013' and I found World Food
Programme:
'There are 842 million undernourished people in
the world today. That means one in eight people do not get enough food to be
healthy and lead an active life. Hunger and malnutrition are in fact the number
one risk to health worldwide — greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis
combined. The good news is that hunger is entirely solvable. There is enough
food in the world to feed everyone and no scientific breakthroughs are needed.
Today’s knowledge, tools and policies, combined with political will, can solve
the problem.'
When I read this I felt sad. On their website I tested my ‘hunger-IQ’ and a child was given a meal. I was shocked by the results of the test.
We just came back from a trip to the
Netherlands. Peter’s brother is very ill and we stayed for a month. I came back
with a throat infection and wasn’t feeling well. But, when I saw World Bread Day
on my calendar I wanted to join. This gave me one day to pick and bake bread
and post about it the next day. I wanted regular bread; just flour, water, salt
and yeast.
I love to bake with sourdough. Because I left my
sourdough in the refrigerator for a month it looked dead. I decided to make
another. I started a new Lievito Madre (sourdough) which I found on Stefanie’s
blog Hefe und Mehr. It’s delicious
smelling sourdough with raw honey. But, that wasn’t ready so I used dried
yeast. The recipe I found is Pain de Campagne from Richard Bertinet.
