Bread is a precious food that has been a part of human lives during countless historical cycles. It is in fact between the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods that have evidence of the first cultivations of cereals. Over the course of the following millennia, bread has been produced using flours (wheat, rye and spelt), resulting from the cultivation of cereals and whose processes are still unknown.
From the first leavening of the Egyptians to the ovens of the ancient Romans, this great food has passes on to us and has remained almost unchanged.
The variety of the Apulian food and wine heritage is well known and appreciated all over the world. The high quality of its products combined with the safeguard of its ancient rural traditions have recently been described in an article published by National Geographic.
In Puglia in fact bread is made following the ancient rural tradition, using genuine ingredients and nothing more: flour, water, yeast and salt. The bread made by the many local bakeries, some of which date back to 1500, is still baked in wood-burning ovens. Still a lot of families make bread at home every Sunday so that it can be served during the lunch with the whole family.
Apulian culinary tradition teaches that only one type of bread exists: the one baked in a wood-burning oven.
