Baking Greek Lagana Bread Traditional Bakery #shorts

Want to experience local culture through food? In this YouTube #shorts, watch how Lagana bread is baked in a wood oven bakery in Chania, Crete.

Lagana bread is a flat bread from Greece. It is traditionally baked on Clean Monday to mark the beginning of lent.

Lagana bread is a unleavened bread, meaning that it is not prepared with any yeast and remains flat.

It has a long oval shape and it is typically topped with sesame seeds.

We had lagana bread with another traditional dish for clean Monday, a taramasalata salad.

In Chania, there are only a few traditional bakeries left making bread using a wood fired oven.

When we stopped at this traditional bakery, they were making a second batch of lagana bread as they were already out of bread at mid-day.

To taste their wonderful wood oven baked bread and Cretan rusks, go to the bakery store in Chania, Crete, at this address:
