This chickpea flour sourdough is traditionally made in a bronze or clay bowl which was usually used to drink water or wine. A clay pot is preferential because it has the advantage of having a constant temperature and maintaining it for a long time.

Wednesday, March 18, 2020
‘Lagana’ and kite flying are the signs it’s Clean Monday (Pancake Tuesday). Other features of the first day of Lent are olives, taramasalata, halva, shrimps and octopus. “Lagana’ is a flat bread with minimal crumbs, with its rich aroma of sesame and its crisp crust. It is unleavened bread, that is, without yeast so it is fasting bread and many do not even add olive oil and replace it with tahini.
