Baking Bread the Moroccan Berber Way



Morocco. High Atlas Mountains. M'Goun Valley. Using a hardened bare hand, a M'Gouna Berber woman pushes her fire away after heating the flat stone underneath. She will bake a barley bread on the hot stone (dough inside wooden bowl). She sits on her haunches as only women who never used a chair can do.

Maroc. Haut-Atlas. Vallée du M’Goun. A l’aide d’une main endurcie par le travail, une Berbère M’Gouna écarte son feu de la pierre plate qu’il a chauffée pour y cuire un pain de seigle dont la pâte attend dans le bol de bois. Seuls les gens qui n’ont jamais usé de chaises on la souplesse de hanches qui permet à cette femme de s’accroupir comme elle le fait.
