The Persian native bread today is
very little different from that used a
thousand years ago. The Persian oven
is built Of smooth masonry work in

size Of n barrel. Many Of them have
been used for a century. The dough Is
formed into thin sheets about a foot
long and two feet wide and slapped
against the side of the oven. It bakes
in q few minutes.
