The village of Qormi is considered to be the ‘upper crust’ when it comes to Maltese bread – and the Qriema even have their own typical Maltese bread ‘sandwich’. Kristina Chetcuti breaks bread with a baker in Qormi to find out more.

Christopher Borg, 40, has been a baker for more than 25 years. For him, flour has literally been his bread and butter, especially as he has lived in Qormi – Malta’s bakers’ hub – all his life. Mr Borg talks about Maltese bread and shows timesofmalta.com how to prepare a stuffed Maltese bread typical of Qormi.

Get out your pocket knife, sit yourself of the doorstep, watch the world go by and enjoy this filling winner.

Typical stuffed bread will be available at The Qormi Bread Festival to be held on September 10 and 11 from 7.30pm onwards.
