httpv://youtube/watch?v=_fMWRs_NgIo&feature=related This is one of the most extraordinary baking videos posted on You Tube. For me, anyway. The baker, a Moroccan woman, is sitting in front of small oven fired with brush. The bread is baked on a griddle within the oven. She crisps the puffed up bread by building up flames to radiate heat down on to the bread. I think she also, at one point, pricks the bread to let out steam. What I find most extraordinary is that this seems to be an oven similar to the ones one sees in ancient Greek terracotta figurines. Until seeing this video I had never quite grasped how the ancient Greek ovens were operated but I think this video makes clear that they were fired with straw or brushwood. Has anyone in this group made an oven like this or actually seen one being operated? I would like to build one of these ovens. If you live reasonably near me, in Santa Cruz, California, and might be interested in a weekend project, please let me know.
