Bread baking is very popular with each home having a tandoor. It consists of a purchased oven built into a classic form by the home owner using clay and hand tools. It is heated with small wood. When it is reduced to coals the coals are covered with a metal tray and the dough is slapped onto the surfaces (it is cylindrical, either horizontal or vertical) and left for a few minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>The dough sticks there and bakes, basically using retained heat.

I am imagining it as rather short (squat), and with the described metal tray being horizontal. But tandoori cooking that I have seen has been essentially tall-ish and vertical, with the flatbread plastered on the sidewalls of the tandoori. <br><br>Your message has started me thinking about such backing that is not typical "space oven" of the western world (with heat all around in a chamber), but is a "surface-contact oven" that has a hot interior around it . Note that pizza cooking can be mainly surface contact with a hot interior around it, but tortilla cooking is with a hot surface but no hot enclosure above the tortillas. Big difference, but still quite related.<br><br>Anyone who wants to do "hands on" work about this and is interested in such baking can contact me directly. Some of these cooking experiments can be easily done without (or with) a biomass burning stove, that is, could be done inside a typical modern kitchen or in an improvised (TLUD based) kitchen like where i ate one night in South Africa in October. <br><br>Paul<br><br>Paul<br><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>Doc / Dr TLUD / Prof. Paul S.
