Well that's absolutely fantastic! I'm assuming that's zaatar and olive oil, yes? As for other things, well, I can imagine it'd be a good substitute for a tandoor for naan, etc.

To echo Chris, fantastic! Great photo display. Can you tell me what else you would use this for? Can you mail samples? :raz:

You could make Shrak, which is Druze/Bedouin bread. It is bigger and thinner than what you made. Unfortunately, I do not have recipe.

That's ingenious! The way you set the whole thing up. Pretty cool. What to use it for? All kinds of baked goods like spinach pies, saj bread, meat pies, cheese pies. Those good dessert ones filled with chocolate and banana as great.
