'So any bread prepared?' 'It's completely devoid of moisture' (3,2,1,4)

I believe the answer is:

dry as a bone

'completely devoid of moisture' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'so any bread prepared?' is the wordplay.
'prepared?' indicates an anagram.
'so'+'any'+'bread'='soanybread'
'soanybread' with letters rearranged gives 'DRY AS A BONE'.

'it's' is the link.

(Another definition for dry as a bone that I've seen is " Completely devoid of moisture".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
