Ans. The baker faces several challenges in his profession. One of the main challenges is the physical labor involved in kneading the dough, shaping the bread, and baking it in the hot wood-fired oven. Additionally, the baker has to wake up very early in the morning to start the baking process and ensure that the bread is ready for customers by breakfast time. Another challenge is the rising cost of ingredients and the competition from modern bakeries that offer a wider variety of bread.
