Alexander tasted a fantastic piece of bread and that was it for him: he was off in pursuit of making the most excellent bread ever. To achieve this goal, he set out to bake a loaf of bread every week for a year.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, was able to stop Alexander from making that wonderful bread. He traveled around the world to bake in an old oven, to enroll in a bread baking class, and to a monastery where he become head baker.

Funny. And surprisingly helpful for those of us who love to bake bread.
