Why this experience

Bread in Sicily is not a side dish. It is memory, ritual, and identity.
This private bread masterclass is designed for travelers who wish to understand Sicilian culture at its deepest level—through the craft that has shaped daily life for centuries.

Hosted in an intimate setting in Palermo or, on request, in a private residence, this experience goes beyond technique. It is an encounter with history, gestures, and knowledge passed down through generations.

What you’ll do

Guided by expert bakers, you will explore the art of traditional Sicilian bread-making, focusing on iconic local varieties such as Palermitano, Monreale, and brioscine.

You will work hands-on with dough, learning how ingredient selection, fermentation, kneading, and baking techniques shape each bread’s character. Throughout the experience, stories, cultural context, and practical knowledge are shared in a natural, unhurried flow.

The experience concludes with a tasting of the breads you have prepared—an essential moment to fully appreciate texture, aroma, and flavor, and to understand why bread holds such a central role in Sicilian life.

What makes this experience unique

This is not a standard baking class.
It is a cultural masterclass designed for a limited number of guests, created for those who value authenticity, depth, and quiet excellence.

By the end of the experience, you will not only have learned techniques, but gained insight into one of Sicily’s most meaningful culinary traditions.
