Sokszínű Vidék reported that Hungarian bakers completed the challenges of the coronavirus epidemic with great success and did well to make the best bread of the country this year as well. It was uncertain whether the event and the competition would be organised because of the epidemic, but luckily, despite the close deadline, nearly one hundred bakeries entered the competition to show off their skills. In the final round, fifteen bread was tasted by the jury. Seven of those were competing in the category of St. Stephen’s day and eight others in the most innovative product of Hungary in 2020. 

This year’s St. Stephen’s Day bread became the one baked by the Balmaz Sütöde Kft. of the town of Balmazújváros entitled as the Hajdúsági traditional bread. With the technology of the 21st century, the bakery aims to provide the original traditional bread types we inherited from our grandmothers to everyone in the country.
