Afghan Bread
If you are interested in seeing the inside of real Afghan bakery check out:

Found on the NY Times website "An Afghan Breadmaker's Struggle."
Flash video shows the inside of the bakery, fermentation steps in a bath tube, scaling the dough, kneading and stretching technigues, getting the flat breads into a wood fire pit.
Really exceptional shots of traditional bread making.

We have so much to be grateful for. weavershouse
It makes you think. Weavershouse is right, we do have a whole lot to be grateful for and we must keep remembering that.
Great link!

Poor people. :( Yet we still have enough food to be a little soft in the middle. :S

I am truly humbled and almost ashamed of all that we have. Our luxurious habit of baking bread as a hobby..our complaints about the rising price of flour..everyone, count your blessings and help others when you can.
Your link to the N.Y. Tiimes video on the Afghan bakery was a real awakening moment for me. We take so much for granted. What a tragedy.
