Reading Assembly may not be difficult, but reverse engineering and figuring out what it is doing is. Same as with bread. Pulling a loaf of bread apart and seeing the individual grains and how the connect isn't difficult, figuring out the process for making it is. If you're trying to explain to a non-technical person what source code is, the bread example from OP is actually a great analogy. It's simple, to the point, and almost everyone will know how bread is made. Is it oversimplified? Sure. But that's the entire point of trying to give a real brief overview to someone with no technical experience.
