Brotbacken im Holzofen

Baking Bread in a Wood Oven at the Lesachtal Bread Baking House in Liesing

Immerse yourself in one of the most traditional bread crafts in Europe! In the historic bread baking house in Liesing, you will learn the art of baking the original Lesachtaler bread in just three hours – a traditional sourdough bread that has been awarded the status of Slow Food Presidio and intangible cultural heritage and is also allowed to carry the designation of protected geographical indication (g.g.A.) in Europe.
The grain and rye flour come from the fields of the mountain farmers. Together, we will mix, knead, shape, and bake authentic Lesachtaler sourdough, which will then be baked into an aromatic, crusty loaf in the traditional wood oven at the Liesing bread baking house.
The course is a sensory experience for all who appreciate regionality, craftsmanship, and authentic food. It conveys not only food craftsmanship but also the cultural life of the Lesachtal. The bread baking course is an experience that provides a conscious counter-model to industrial bread products, showcasing the values of nature, manual labor, knowledge, and regionality.
At the end, you will take home your own freshly baked bread and a portion of sourdough – as well as the knowledge of how to bake this special bread yourself at any time.

The Lesachtaler bread is also part of the international Slow Food Presidio initiative. These projects work worldwide to preserve traditional foods, old varieties, artisanal production methods, and regional cultural landscapes. Together with producers, the quality, origin, and sustainable production methods are ensured.
