BELLUNO
Le Pucce
At the end of the 19th century, in the country around Belluno, bread was made
at home and then baked in the public wood ovens of each village. The cereals
used were: rye, barley, and corn, typical of the poor agriculture of those
mountain zones. But the typical loaves of the Belluno area were called "Pucce".
They were baked, dried, and kept on shelves so that they could be used later on,
cut into pieces, and eaten in soups or with other food.
Other typical kinds of bread in this area are potato bread, corn bread, and
pumpkin bread.
