What is the function of a two meter high aluminum seal wrapped in bread dough? In an industrial area in Lillesand, 7-8 adults work hard and seriously with yellow helmets on their heads.

The horns are covered with chicken wire to make the mixture tastier. What kind of discovery is this?

Yes, a lecturer at the University of Agder, Ole Kristian Herwell, who wanted to show his kindergarten students and teachers that bread dough can be used in shaping subjects.

– And that's when we got the crazy idea to make the world's largest reindeer patty. Or bread animals. Herwell held a miniature edition in his hands.

It is the prototype itself, which will prove that the project is possible.

The baker takes the back seat

– It is important not to put too much yeast in the dough. It should grow a little in the oven, but not too much, says baker Espen Albert at Dampbageriet. We like to play around a bit in everyday life, so this is our choice.

While Albert chose to shape the back of the moose, student teacher Kristin Tørring sat patting bread dough onto one of the moose's legs. Something he would probably only do once in his life.

– This is really something kindergarten kids can enjoy. A great shaping activity, then we can eat it after!

Where do you grill a whole deer?

But then there is such a thing as roasting a large deer that is more than two meters tall.

– I called about half of Sørlandet to see if anyone could bake reindeer bread. “I thought it would be easy,” Herwell ironically said.

In the end, he got a job at the Saint Gobain industrial company in Lillesand. Here the oven is quite large, at least if the deer is cut open.

So it's just a matter of roasting the legs and horns separately, then putting them together afterwards.

– Now we can hope that the moose will touch those who see it. That they are not indifferent to this bread deer. But I think we are satisfied with the results, smiled the university lecturer.
