Enter the mapIn the making · How it is made
Panificio Drago works its bread by hand using only sourdough starter. The dough is prepared with high hydration, a technique that requires experience and shapes the structure of the finished product.
Each batch of dough rests for between 24 and 30 hours. Natural fermentation allows the aromas to develop and gives the bread its digestibility.
Baking takes place on stone, a traditional method that gives a crisp crust and an even, open crumb. The bakery runs on 100% renewable energy, and its products hold a sustainability certification.
