BY BREAD ALONE

Season 6 Episode 601 | 26m 46s

There’s bread and the bread of Altamura, a small city in Puglia famous for ‘the best bread on earth.’ Heading to the bakery, Panificio de Gesu, I find out it’s true. Mountain-shaped loaves, made from 90-year-old starter; baked fresh all day long are the best on earth. We make some yummy sandwiches from this bread and a loaf from my hometown to showcase the role of healthy breads in our diet.
