Discover one of Dalmatia's oldest culinary traditions through a hands-on experience. Instead of simply watching, you'll prepare your own traditional bread, shape the dough, and bake it under the peka using the same method local families have passed down for generations. As the bread bakes over hot embers, you'll hear stories about Dalmatian village life, traditional cooking techniques, and the importance of simple, local ingredients. You'll also enjoy a tasting of the famous Zadar Maraschino liqueur before gathering around the table to taste your freshly baked bread with local cheese and extra virgin olive oil. This authentic experience offers a relaxed atmosphere, personal guidance, and a genuine connection to Dalmatian culture that you won't find in a typical cooking class.

Fun, interesting and tasty experience

I love taking cooking or food related classes when travelling as you get to know a lot about the culture through food. This bread making class was excellent and I learnt some interesting history about Croatia, Zadar and the Dalmatian region. Also who doesn't love bread, olive oil and cheese. Great fun and a cool way to try making bread in the traditional fashion.

Very lovely welcome,...

Very lovely welcome, great atmosphere, very friendly tour guide. We not only learned a lot about the baking tradition, but also quite a bit about Croatian culture in general. We would definitely do it again, but you need a car to reach the location.

Great experience

Nice host, nice location and a conversation that felt natural. Also something out of the usual experiences like boat tours etc. Quick tip: don't put too much water in the dough as you will have to live with jokes on that all the time ;) We wish them great success in establishing their program even further! Thank you!

Authentic Croatian Experience

A truly wonderful opportunity to experience authentic Croatian traditions. Monika is exceptionally knowledgeable and great to talk with! Learning about breadmaking, the origins of maraschino, and life in Croatia was so much fun, and the bread we made together was excellent.
