Jordanian woman leads ancient clay oven revival

Ancient clay ovens are seeing a revival

thanks to this woman’s love of the tradition

Location: Ajloun, Jordan

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) JORDANIAN WOMAN, SABAH MOHAMMED BANI-SALMAN, SAYING:

"As far back as I can remember, my mother would knead and bake - we never ate bread from the market. So I got used to this idea. But I never did it at home - even when I first got married - my mother would bring me her bread. But she fell ill, and she became unable to deliver the bread. This forced me to learn how to bake the bread at home."

Sabah now builds and sells clay ovens

and hosts tours on their history
