I'm enjoying Inea BUSHNAQ's book, Arab Folktales, published by Pantheon
Books, 1986. On p.47, she describes bread being cooked in the following
manner by a member of a raiding party: "He mixed flour with water, enough
to feed a whole band that is hungry and worn. He buried the flat dough in
hot ashes and covered it with sand. Then he waited."

I think that if I tried to do this, I would wind up eating a lot of sand
and ashes. Does someone know more precise instructions for this method of
baking bread?

Ignorantly,
Allan Adler
