THE LOAF CIPOVKA – BREAD „SMILES AT THE MOON“

Cipovka - hleb koji se smeje na Mesec

Culture and history of bread in the Serbian region of Vojvodina

Every region of Europe takes pride in its own, characteristic type of bread. These are not ‘special occasion’ breads made for a particular celebration or ritual. These are the breads served daily. All of these ‘take-pride-in breads’ are the result of a culture’s baking skills and differ according to how they are prepared, type of flour used, shape, taste and smell. Traditional, everyday ‘take-pride-in’ bread in Vojvodina is called CipovkaBread and bakery products have an important role in Serbian everyday consumption. Cipovka, typical Sebian bread, is produced in significant quantities in various parts of Serbia, especially in Vojvodina.

Peasants in Vojvodina, later professional bakers, prepared white bread – Cipovka, with yeast. Characteristic for this bread is its exceptionally pleasant smell and taste, easy digestibility and freshness of several days. The size of the bread depended on the number of household members and it`s average weight was 3 to 5 kg. Video

Karakteristika ovoga hleba je loptasti oblik, izuzetno prijatan miris i ukus, laka svarljivost i svežina od nekoliko dana. Veličina hleba zavisila je od broja ukućana, a prosečna masa bila je od  3 do 5 kilograma. CIPOVKA

Four hundred and twelve (412) artists from forty eight (48) countries with eight hundred and twenty two (822) works have participated in the competition. An international jury has awarded the best works and has chosen around two hundred works to be displayed at the exhibition.

Therefore the works displayed represent a colorful mosaic of ideas, art, and the techniques that were used. I find such variety best represents the different customs, traditions, histories, religious relationships and cultures related to breadNote on the work of the Jury.
