The baker shows how the dough is made and how the pattern in the centre is pressed with a chekich stamp.
We bake in a clay tandoor and eat the bread hot with tea.
Bread — non — is sacred in Uzbekistan: it is never placed face down and never cut with a knife, only broken by hand. Every city has its own bread, and Bukhara's is recognised by its shape and pattern. It's baked in a tandoor, a clay oven heated with wood to a very high temperature.
In the class you knead the dough, shape the bread and press a pattern with a chekich, a stamp with sharp pins. The most exciting part is slapping the bread onto the hot wall of the tandoor — the baker shows you how to do it quickly and safely using a special cushion.
A few minutes later the bread is ready — eaten hot with tea right by the tandoor, with the rest to take away. About 1.5 hours, up to 8 people, suitable for all ages.
