Bake Samarkand bread in a tandoor
About this tour
Samarkand bread is famous across Uzbekistan — thick, glossy and stamped with a pattern. Join a local baker at a family bakery to learn how it is made: knead and shape the dough, stamp it with a chekich, and press it onto the walls of a hot clay tandoor. Then sit down for tea with your own warm bread — and take the rest with you.
