Discover the legendary bread culture of Uzbekistan, where every city has its own unique style — but none are as iconic as the world-famous Samarkand bread.

Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Samarkand and head to a traditional bakery where the famous round loaves are baked in large, blazing hot clay ovens called tandirs.

See how the dough is shaped, decorated, and skilfully pressed onto the walls of the oven, creating the soft, fragrant, golden bread that Samarkand is known for. During the master class, learn each step directly from local bakers and even make your own loaf.

Take home a freshly baked Samarkand bread to share with your friends and family.
