• Here in Morocco bread is the main component of
  our meals.In most part of the country bread is
  partly baked at home but we take it to a
  traditional oven to be cooked and be ready to be
  servedthis oven is big and it is heated with dry
  pieces of wood but sometimes with
  electricity.However ,a lot of people purchase
  bread because the don't have the time to work it
  at home.The price of a roll or a loaf of bread is
  usually less than a quarter(20 cents).

In Morocco people eat two types of breada
circling or round bread and rolls. We bake
bread in the morning to be ready at lunch
time.For breakfast , we usually purchase it from
the bakery because it is fresh . Bread has a
circular shape and it smells natural.we do not
put any flavors in it but it has the smell of
natural crops.It is served fresh at lunchtime in
a bowl and we cut into small pieces .each one at
the table takes as much as he needs . The main
ingredients in bread are flour (wheat or
corn),warm water, some yeast and some salt.
Here is a recipe for our home made breadPut
some flour in a round big plate ,add some warm
water as you melt and mix together,we put some
yeast which is capable of fermenting
carbohydrates ,then we add some salt and we keep
mixing things together for about ten
minutes.finally we cut the dough into 2 or 3
identical parts and press each part until we get
a circular shape.Then we put them on a wooden
plate and cover them for about 45 minutes until
we see the size of the dough becomes thicker.We
bake at home or send it to a traditional bakery
in the neighborhood.
