Tafarnout Bread

The bread is actually named after the oven, not the other way around — 'tafarnout' refers to the traditional clay oven it's baked in, and some village bakers place hot stones directly on top of the dough as it cooks.
A simple dough of semolina flour, water, and salt is pressed against the hot inner walls of a clay or terracotta oven and baked quickly over an open flame until it develops a thick, rustic crust. It's the daily bread of Souss-Massa, sold at bakeries and market stalls around Agadir and Taroudant.
Why it's made this way: For Amazigh families in the Souss, this bread represents daily hospitality and is often torn and dipped straight into argan oil, honey, or amlou at the table.
