The history of the wood-fired oven

The wood-fired oven, made of brick or stone, has been around for thousands of years. Archaeologists have found such ovens in the excavation sites of almost all ancient civilizations. In fact, taboon flatbread, which is popular across the Middle East, takes its name from the word 'oven.'

Ancient Romans took their bread to a communal oven for baking, and this is probably the origin of today’s pizza. Ovens made from stone allow for heat to be distributed evenly and efficiently. The wood fire gives flatbreads and pizzas a distinct and delicious taste.

Hey Dalia,
How’s it going? Great to see you Saturday night. I ate so much!!! Had to go to the gym today to get some exercise …

Got your invitation for next week. Thx! I can’t wait! A family meal in the garden is a great idea. And everyone loves wood-fired oven taboon! Everyone’s excited and I can’t wait to see your parents again!

I’m trying to decide what to wear. I want to wear something appropriate but not overdressed, obviously. Not sure about the footwear. I think I’ll wear my blue trainers because they’re comfortable for being outside. It might be too cold for sandals. And a nice dress, of course, as it is a special occasion. I’ll bring a warm jumper as well, in case it gets cold later. What do you reckon?

Do you fancy decorating for the event together? Let me know! Right, I’m off to make some dinner (finally hungry again after all that food!). Message me later.

Bye 4 now
Huda
