Bread Baking: From grain to Roman bread
How was grain processed into bread 2000 years ago? You will experience this together step by step as you make a tasty loaf in the Roman way.

Firstly you will grind the grain in a Roman stone mill before kneading and shaping the dough according to your own ideas. Then the loaves will be placed into the reconstructed wood stove and finally you can take a warm and fragrant loaf home with you.
