Additional program module:
Baking bread

In historical atmosphere you yourself bake your own bread in the former public bread oven of Intragna. The village's master baker is of your assistance.

While you are still strolling leisurely through the narrow lanes of Intragna, the preparations for baking bread together are on their way. In the venerable village museum the master baker already has begun to preheat the former public bread oven which for many generations had loyally served the locals, the "Intragnesi". Additionally, the master baker prepares according to old tradition the dough for your bread baking adventure.

We interrupt our tour at the right moment and direct our steps to the museum. There we briefly watch the master baker heat up the oven - that has been preheated for two days - to its final temperature. In the meantime he will tell you more about the history of the oven and explain the oven's particularities.
Then the prepared dough is served up in front of you. It gets exciting! Everyone quickly gets a piece and shapes his or her own bread. Does bread always have to have the same shape, you will probably ask yourself. Just try a different one this time! After all, you would like to easily recognize your bread after it has been baked in the large oven.
In a successive step the master baker puts the bread loafs under your vigilant eyes into the bread oven.

Later, after we have completed our tour, you can pick up your selfmade bread - freshly baked and smelling deliciously.

Buon appetito - enjoy your bread!
