Bread-making workshop in Matera

Our experiential tour invites you to dive into the authentic culinary traditions of Matera with a hands-on bread-making workshop, set within a bakery that has been passed down through four generations. The experience begins with an engaging introduction to the bakery's history and the carefully selected ingredients used in their craft, including high-quality local semolina and a natural sourdough starter. You'll then step into the heart of the workshop, where a master baker will guide you through the entire bread-making process—kneading the dough, allowing it to proof, shaping it by hand, and stamping it with the iconic mark that makes Matera bread so distinctive.

The highlight of the workshop is the chance to create your very own loaf of bread, a hands-on moment that brings tradition to life. Once baked, you’ll take your loaf home as a warm, delicious souvenir. The experience concludes with a relaxed tasting session in a cozy setting, where you’ll sample local delicacies and enjoy the rich flavors that define the region’s food culture. More than just a class, this workshop is an immersive journey into Matera’s culinary soul—perfect for food lovers and curious travelers alike.
