About the sound
The sound of forming bread loaves. The recording was realized in the Siwek Bakery in Lanckorona (Poland). In this bakery, the bread is produced basing on traditional recipes and in accordance with artisanal technologies.
Bread loaves are formed from mixed and leavened dough. The baker weighs a portion of dough and forms a loaf manually. Then it is put into a wicker mold and placed on a trolley. Bread loaves prepared in this way are ready to be put into the bread oven.
