Artesa in breadmaking
Stone dough trough, Aberdour Castle, Scotland
An artesa is a rectangular container with a shallow basin, used in traditional breadmaking in Europe. The wooden form has been used for centuries for making bread. It is variously called a "bread trough" or "dough trough" in English.[1]
Other uses
It has also been used for watering and feeding livestock, and in wine production.
Mechanization in bakeries and new technologies in bread ovens have relegated to the artesa to either recycling or as a garden box, excepting for weekends or more traditional or rural areas.
