We like to pick up fresh Iraqi bread at Souq Waqif. It costs 1QR (about 25 cents) for 5 pieces. My favorite is eating it when it is still warm, and I love watching it being made.
They take balls of dough and throw them a little like pizza dough, but then they lay it on a big round pillow like form to place it in the oven, which is actually a converted cement mixer.
It is pressed onto the sides of the oven, where it sticks
It is prodded and pulled out by a long metal rod
They always have people waiting for fresh bread
Most people order large stacks of the bread
Nice and fresh
Waiting patiently for her hot bread
Enjoying some bread
