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.

Thanks for sharing..

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.

Thank you for the reality check

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.
