As Good as Bread
[Maddalena Delli]
The name Madia comes from a peculiar piece of kitchen furniture used since early times in the areas of the ancient Sabine peoples to make and store the bread as well as for keeping a piece of dough from the previous baking to ferment into a starter for the next. Madias were halfway between a table and a cupboard and made of two parts: the top was empty with a lift top, and served the purpose of working the dough and let it leaven. Underneath there was a space to keep the pieces of bread, which was made in large quantities - a batch could be six to ten loaves, each of them of a much larger size than today.MORE
