Late September at the Aplerbeck church, held a special church event, where the campaign of ‘Bake 5000 breads – bread for the world’, was executed by the young confirmands of the church, who joined hands with the local bakeries to raise funds for a social cause.

The money from these sales of bread were to be donated for the projects of ‘Bread for the World’ (Brot für die Welt), the money collected will be used to support youth training centers in El Salvador, India and Ethiopia.

I was present along with pastor Christina Biere, a day before the event at a local bakery with the confirmands, the backer thought the youth, the entire process in which the bread was being made.

Bread – representing an inevitable part of the Biblical scripture and also being one of the national identities of Germany. I put forth a question to all our readers. ‘when was the last time you baked a bread?’. PANIC NOT, while we have a delicious yet an easy bread recipe below, do try it out!
