SP24, 3 - The Timeless Ritual of Bread Making: Fire, Flour, and Family Roots
Bread in Calabria is more than just a recipe; it represents a living tradition.
In this immersive experience, participants are invited to a traditional rural farm where time seems to slow down, and the aroma of wood smoke permeates the air. This is not just about learning to bake; it is an initiation into a ritual that has supported communities for generations.
The journey starts with the Mother Dough (Lievito Madre), a living ingredient passed down through families, carrying the flavors and stories of the past. Under the guidance of the farmer’s family, participants will learn the rhythmic art of kneading, understanding how patience and passion transform simple ingredients into “Pane.”
As the dough rises, stories of family and land will be shared, offering a glimpse into a lifestyle deeply connected to the seasons. Participants will then learn the sacred and primal ritual of the wood-fired oven: selecting the right wood, interpreting the dancing flames, and preparing the stone hearth for the perfect bake.
Join in a convivial meal where everyone “breaks bread” together, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, homemade honey, and paired with local seasonal delicacies.
