You can also jump from one shop to another to try out the varieties. Weekdays are lesser in-crowd.
If you are coming on a vehicle, it is better to park them in the nearby street. This particular street is crowded and wouldn’t be suitable for a vehicle.

FIREWOOD OVEN BREAD MAKING PROCESS - Commercial Bread Making Using Manual Methods & Firewood Oven
This is a place where bread is made using manual methods and a firewood oven. The Owner with over 40 years of experience says that mixing the dough manually with hands and using a firewood oven to bake the bread, gives the bread more taste.
Modern bakeries use machines for mixing the dough and an electric oven to bake the bread.
There are 2 people working in this bakery and they start work at 7 in the morning. They use 75 kgs of maida flour to make the dough.
Four kinds of bread are made in this bakery. The normal bread called 'Atchu paan', which is 60 rs SriLankan money. The road bread which is 15 rs a piece. The sandwich bread which is 60 rs per piece and a bigger roast bread called the 'thatti bread' which is 60 rs
After the dough preparation is done, it is weighed as 450 gms and separated into the small dough. The dough is rolled two separate times before it goes in the bread die. The die is closed using a plate for sandwich bread. This lid prevents the dough rise and hence the sandwich bread is square in shape when cut into slices.
On the other hand the normal bread or the 'attchi paan' , the lid is not put so the dough rises after which the bread is baked.
For the road bread, the dough is weighed into smaller sizes of 180 grams, the dough is applied with margarine and placed in a tray one by one. After which it is baked taken out, separated, and roasted again to bring out the crunchy sides.
The firewood is loaded in the oven the previous day so that the firewood is kept warm and catches fire as soon as they are lit. The firewood is lit around 10 in the morning. After the wood is completely burnt, the hot coal is pushed to the side pit. The oven is hot and ready to load the dough.
After the bread is baked, it's loaded in their van and brought to the town for sales.
These are nonsweet bread and they can go with any spicy curry or butter & jam.
Bread is a major food for the Srilanka. They have it in the mornings as well as night. A good and tasty bread that you should try when you are in Sri Lanka.
