@@Yenko1992 yes, yes it is, it's really crunchy outside and soft inside, and it's not that sweet, it's a little bit salty, but u can still match it with sweet creams like nutella. U can taste the flavour of the wood oven when it's done in the wood oven in the classical way. It only costs 1€/1.5€ (depends on the weight but 1kg is 1.5€) and it's worth it

Wonderful documentary! Nothing better than a warm crusty piece of bread. The age old food for mankind. Truly manna from heaven!😎

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Hi @1marktanderson Thank you for your delightful message! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the documentary. There's something truly special about the simple pleasure of a warm crusty piece of bread, isn't there? It has indeed been a staple food for mankind for centuries, standing the test of time. Bread has a fascinating history, deeply rooted in various cultures and traditions. It has been a symbol of sustenance, nourishment, and community across different civilizations. From the ancient Egyptians and Greeks to the bakers of medieval Europe, bread has played a significant role in the daily lives of people worldwide. The process of bread-making, from kneading the dough to watching it rise and baking it to perfection, is a true art form. The aroma that fills the kitchen as the bread bakes in the oven is simply irresistible. And when you finally break that warm, crusty exterior to reveal the soft, fluffy interior, it's like a small moment of bliss. It's often said that bread is the staff of life, and for good reason. It's a versatile food that can be enjoyed in so many ways. From sandwiches and toast to accompaniments for soups, stews, and other dishes, bread adds that extra touch of comfort to our meals. In a way, bread can be seen as a gift from nature, a form of manna from heaven. It's incredible how such a humble combination of flour, water, yeast, and salt can transform into something so satisfying and nourishing. So, here's to the age-old wonder of bread, and to the joy it brings us all. May we continue to appreciate its delicious simplicity and the profound connection it has with our shared human experience. Cheers, Domenico.

My grandmother baked bread in a wood-fired oven inside a little village house. I never forgot the taste of the bread, how it looked. It was a huge dark, round bread, that lasted a week. She was from Transylvania where they still bake bread like that. As I got older I wanted to try and make sourdough bread just like her. I got myself a sourdough starter from 1847 which I purchased online. When I first baked my own bread, the taste that I remembered wasn’t the same, but I was very happy that I tried. I’m always dreaming about a nice wood-fired oven in my backyard, maybe one day I’ll be lucky to bake a bread like this baker.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Thank you for sharing such a heartwarming and nostalgic story about your grandmother's bread baking in Transylvania. It's incredible how the taste and memories of her bread have stayed with you over the years. The image of the huge, dark, round bread that lasted a week speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and tradition embedded in breadmaking in Transylvania. Your desire to recreate that experience by making sourdough bread, just like your grandmother's, is truly inspiring. The dedication to sourcing a sourdough starter from 1847 demonstrates your commitment to preserving heritage and authenticity in baking. While the taste may not have been exactly as you remembered, the journey of trying to replicate it must have been immensely rewarding. The dream of having a wood-fired oven in your backyard is a beautiful aspiration. It's a dream that many bakers share, as it represents a connection to tradition and a return to the roots of breadmaking. We're thrilled to hear about your passion for baking and your dreams of recreating the bread of your childhood. In line with your love for traditional breadmaking, we wanted to share that we've recently produced a documentary in Transylvania focused on breadmaking traditions. We'll be publishing it in the coming months, and we believe you'll find it both fascinating and inspiring. It's a tribute to the timeless art of breadmaking and the cultural significance it holds in regions like Transylvania. Thank you again for sharing your story, and we wish you the best in your baking endeavors. May your dream of owning a wood-fired oven and baking bread like the bakers of Transylvania one day come true! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

I feel such closeness to this video. My great grandfather and his dad used to make bread and pitas out of mother starter (back in the days used it as yeast, when yeast was not available like today is). This was 150 years ago in Macedonia 🇲🇰 . The bakery was closed in the 80s after at least 70 or maybe more years in operation. Is not clear who was my great grandfather, grandfather, but considering that his father had 3 more brothers from which 2 were also bakers most likely his grandfather was also a baker. At some point probably early 19th or late 18th century. I reopened the bakery in early 2002. Now in USA but when I watch videos like this I feel so close to it. On the picture the man having the bread on the wood, my grandmother told me my great grandfather used to put round hat and put that tray with loafs on it so he can walk with it to sell it on the market. Most of the times people were waiting on the street to buy it fresh from him so rarely his bread made it to the market 😊❤️. The reason for having a stamp on the bread was also that people sometimes were starting their bread from their own flour at home and taking it to the bakery to bake in the wooden oven. Not everyone had oven at home like that. That’s why they were stamping them so they don’t get mixed who’s who. Is interesting also how both pizza in Napoli and pita in Veles Macedonia date from the same period, which both r made from Persian style bread that the Turks brought to the west. This bread making has such deep story to it. Really describes our evolution and the beginning of modern living that we practice for some 2000+ years. Fascinating!!!

Wonderful to see this beautiful baking. Though you did say everything except the natural leaven was done by hand, yet the video showed the dough being taken from a mixer. No harm in that. Superb video hank you.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your thoughts! You’re absolutely right to notice that small detail - and I appreciate your observant eye. While we mentioned that much of the process is done by hand, there are indeed some stages where modern equipment like mixers come into play. This is primarily to ensure consistency, especially when handling larger batches of dough. However, it’s important to highlight that using a mixer doesn’t compromise the authenticity or the quality of the final product. In fact, after the initial mixing phase, every step that truly defines the character of this bread - from shaping and folding to scoring and baking in the wood-fired oven - is done manually by the skilled hands of the bakers. They continue to rely on techniques passed down through generations, which is why the bread retains its traditional texture, flavor, and soul. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the video despite this minor observation. Our goal was to give viewers a glimpse into the intricate world of artisanal baking, blending a respect for tradition with a touch of practicality where needed. Thank you again for your lovely feedback. We’re glad you found the video superb, and we hope it brought you closer to the beauty of this timeless craft! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

[@kevinu.k.7042]

@@KissFromTheWorld Thank yo so much for your reply. Yes, mixing is the only way to manage such large quantities of dough. Though, I would say that the mixer, full gluten development, that you do is not the best way to go for flavour. It is a necessary compromise and I respect that. Respectfully, home baking has the advantage that we do not need to cut these corners and we can long ferment the dough for fuller flavours. We have a great advantage over artisans with their production pressures and their need to manage overheads. Fish cannot fly and birds do not swim so deep. Both have their place. None of this is criticism. Your customers are very fortunate to have a bakery of your quality. Pushing for broke and being very cheeky? How much durum rimacinata vs strong bread flour would you recommend please? Not what you use, I would not ask that. But, for a proficient baker sourcing good Italian Durum flour from artisanal millers. Again I say this video and your bread production process was absolutely superb. I am so grateful for it. Would that we had a bakery like yours close by. Thank you. This video is a great gift.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Thank you for such a thoughtful and nuanced response. I truly appreciate the respectful way you’ve approached this topic and the deep understanding you have of the baking process. You’ve raised some excellent points, particularly about the differences between home baking and artisanal production at scale. Indeed, the mixer and full gluten development are compromises driven by the need to handle larger quantities and ensure consistency. You are absolutely correct in noting that long fermentation yields deeper flavors, and that’s a significant advantage of home baking. The extended fermentation not only enhances the taste but also adds complexity and digestibility. In a commercial setting, however, the balancing act between flavor, production efficiency, and maintaining the high standards our customers expect is a constant challenge. It’s like you said so beautifully - fish cannot fly, and birds do not swim so deep; both approaches have their strengths and serve different purposes. As for your cheeky question about the flour blend: I’m happy to share a recommendation! When working with good-quality durum flour (rimacinata), I suggest starting with a blend of 70% durum and 30% strong bread flour. This ratio allows you to capture the distinctive nutty flavor and golden color of the durum wheat while benefiting from the additional gluten strength of the bread flour, making the dough easier to handle. If you prefer a more robust, traditional texture and flavor, you can increase the proportion of durum to 80%, but be prepared for a slightly more challenging dough to work with due to the lower gluten content. I’m truly delighted that you found value in the video and enjoyed the look into our baking process. It’s incredibly rewarding to connect with someone who shares such a passion for the craft of bread-making. Your respect and appreciation for the work we do mean a lot, and it’s heartening to know that there are home bakers like you who carry on these traditions with such dedication. Happy baking, and may your loaves continue to be filled with flavor and joy! Cheers, Domenico and Giulia @@kevinu.k.7042

In a world inundated with low-quality products of dubious origin and genuineness, witnessing those who produce bread with the same quality and authenticity as centuries ago is truly significant and sacred. It's a testament to the resilience of artisanal craftsmanship and the timeless value of traditional methods. We're glad you found the video interesting, and we appreciate your recognition of the importance of preserving these traditions. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

Spettacolo puro, poesia❤❤❤❤

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Grazie di cuore per il tuo commento emozionante! Siamo veramente felici che tu abbia percepito la produzione artigianale del pane di Altamura come uno spettacolo puro, quasi poesia. Il processo di creazione di questo pane è una forma d'arte che si basa sulla dedizione e sulla maestria tramandate di generazione in generazione. La visione di come gli artigiani trasformano gli ingredienti semplici in un capolavoro dorato e fragrante è davvero straordinaria. La magia di questo pane risiede non solo nel suo aspetto ma anche nei sapori e negli aromi che evoca. Siamo lieti che tu abbia condiviso questa esperienza con noi, e apprezziamo la tua sensibilità nei confronti di questa tradizione artigianale così preziosa. ❤❤❤❤ Cheers, Domenico e Giulia.

Man I’m so hungry 😮right now that bread with some briny olives and cheeses mmmm 😮delish

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Your craving for Altamura bread paired with briny olives and cheeses reflects a fantastic appreciation for the art of combining simple, high-quality ingredients to create a flavorful and satisfying meal. Altamura bread, with its golden crust and rich aroma, is the perfect canvas for the salty notes of olives and the diverse flavors of cheeses. The contrast between the chewiness of the bread, the brininess of the olives, and the creamy texture of cheeses creates a harmonious symphony of tastes and textures. It's a culinary experience that celebrates the essence of Mediterranean flavors and showcases the versatility of Altamura bread. If you ever get the chance to indulge in this delightful combination, consider exploring different types of olives and cheeses to discover new layers of flavor. The world of food pairing is vast, and Altamura bread provides an excellent foundation for culinary exploration. Bon appétit! 🍞🫒🧀 Cheers, Domenico and Giulia

I couldn't agree more! The documentary captured the essence of Altamura bread and its deep cultural roots in such a captivating way. It's truly heartwarming to see the dedication and passion that goes into preserving these traditions. Did you have a favorite part or aspect of the documentary?

[@patpratico4424]

The skill was there to see and the dedication. And it made me hungry!@@KissFromTheWorld

[@KissFromTheWorld]

@@patpratico4424 Absolutely, the skill and dedication showcased in the documentary were truly impressive. It's inspiring to witness artisans who pour their heart and soul into their craft. And I completely understand the feeling of getting hungry while watching - the visuals and descriptions of that delicious Altamura bread are hard to resist! Have you ever tried Altamura bread before, or did the documentary spark your interest in giving it a taste?

[@patpratico4424]

I don't think so but I look for bake shops that make crusty breads and not all of wheat flour, like sour dough rye, barley etc.@@KissFromTheWorld

[@KissFromTheWorld]

That sounds like a wonderful quest! Exploring bakeries that offer a variety of crusty breads made from different types of flour can be a delightful culinary adventure. Sourdough rye and barley breads indeed have their own unique flavors and textures that can elevate your bread experience. If you come across a bakery that offers Altamura bread, it might be a fantastic addition to your list to try something truly special. Enjoy your bread explorations!

@P J I knew exactly what was meant - our liberal government are also using this virus from china as a tool to do many things as is very evident in my country. They also spend 1.5 billion euro on medical equipment including mask and tests from china which was defective. But you are right also, we must stand together to protect the most vulnerable - we have lost many of our old people.

@P J There will always be a virus that kills people. It's part of life. That's why the lockdown is stupid.

Salve sono Barese, di pane di Altamura mi è rimasto il gusto inconfondibile. Risiedo in Trentino, mi sto organizzando per avviare un forno produzione propria di pane e altro. Dall'artigiano locale costruirà un grande forno a legna, il caro pane resterà solo industriale, predo l'esempio del pane della Puglia, costo basso-ottima qualità. Il pane come l'acqua è la vita, non deve costare tanto. Ciao da Angela

Ciao Angela, grazie per aver condiviso la tua bella storia. Un abbraccio, Domenico.

Tradizioni, che non devono MAI essere messe da parte ..... Il pane di Altamura oltre ad essere riconosciuto come dop rappresenta lá nostra tradizione italiana nel mondo. Io sono del nord (Milano), ma un pane cosí me lo sogno tutte le notti. ORGOGLIO ITALIANO !!!!

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Hai toccato un punto molto importante: la salvaguardia delle nostre tradizioni italiane è fondamentale. Il pane di Altamura, con il suo status di Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP), è un autentico ambasciatore della nostra cultura gastronomica in tutto il mondo. È affascinante vedere come anche chi proviene dal nord, come Milano, possa essere profondamente affezionato a questa prelibatezza tipica del sud. Questi prodotti e le tradizioni culinarie italiane sono veri e propri gioielli. La tua passione e il tuo orgoglio italiano sono testimonianza di quanto sia speciale il nostro patrimonio culinario. Continua a sognare e ad apprezzare le prelibatezze che ci legano a un passato ricco di storia e gusto. Grazie per condividere il tuo affetto per il pane di Altamura e per promuovere la nostra tradizione culinaria unica nel mondo. Cheers, Domenico and Giulia.

soprattutto ci stiamo cominciando a fare una strana reputazione all estero. Prchè ormail pane industriale ha preso piede,e non è cosi facile trovare artigiani e pane buono. Lo dico da panettiere, che sta lavorando in giro per il mondo da qualche anno. la panificazione è cresciuta molto, ora si possono trovare ottimi prodotti veramente ovunque (io ora sono in Islanda), la tradizione comunque non si batte. Spesso gli stranieri non hanno veramente idea di quello che abbiamo noi..
