Forno del Quartiere (Bread)

The Forno del Quartiere features a heavy, soot-stained wooden door set directly into the thick earth-toned walls of the alleyway. This is a communal neighborhood oven, fueled by wood fires that burn deep into the night to bake the daily rounds of khobz for nearby households. Families prepare their dough at home, mark the loaves with a unique family stamp, and bring them here to be baked by the master baker. He manages the heat of the hearth, pulling perfectly browned loaves.
