It's a beautiful and interesting town. Very rural at parts, but quite active at its center.

The "Red coffee bus".

Not far from the hotel, we found this bakery. Not much to imply it's being one, other then the smell of wood fire and the sweet scent of bread being baked.

The small sign on the window specifies the price of tonis puri at 75 tetri, which are 30 cents.

A single baker salling only one bread. He is skillfully shaping the dough, stretching it over a special pillow and stick onto the tone oven wall.

Ofcourse we bought a bread. 

Notice the hole where a hook was used to pull the bread out of the oven. They are quite large, measuring nearly 25" in length.

It was as delicious as only freshly baked bread can be. Soft and pillow. Hot and aromatic. The crust well browned and crisp, crackling as you tear off a piece. The crumb is elastic and tender, very flavorful and well salted.

It's akin to a Neapolitan pizza dough that was baked slower. The crumb is like a baggaute but slightly denser and less chewy, perhaps slightly enriched with oil.

Actually, it's a lot like a crisp version of a good fluffy pita bread (in the Egyptian/Yamini style). Now I have to buy me some good pita (my favorite bakery is also quite a hole in the wall, but they use a mechanized conveyor oven).

 

As I mentioned before, we kept some leftover pkhali from dinner. They were great with the bread.

We only managed to eat a little more than half :( Where's my second stomach when I need it?
