A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !

In the video, an ancient cooking method using plant ash is demonstrated. The cook heats sifted ash from burned wood or straw in a large wok until it is very hot. A round, flat piece of dough is then placed onto the hot ash. Using a small shovel, the cook carefully covers the dough completely with more hot ash. The dough bakes within this natural oven for several minutes, with the cook occasionally moving the ash around to ensure even heating. The hot ash acts as a perfect heat conductor, cooking the bread uniformly on all sides without burning it. Once done, the bread is removed and brushed clean, revealing a perfectly cooked flatbread with a firm crust. This technique, found in various cultures, is a traditional way to bake without a modern oven. A common question is whether the bread is safe to eat and if it becomes gritty. The answer is yes, it is safe. The fine ash does not stick to the cooked bread's surface, and any excess is easily brushed off, leaving no gritty texture. The result is a unique, aromatic bread that is completely clean and edible. This method showcases practical wisdom from a time before conventional ovens were available.
