The whole process centers on the clay oven, a domed beehive that radiates dry, intense heat. You slap flatbreads directly onto its scorching inner walls, watching them blister and puff in seconds. For stews or whole chickens, you seal the pot opening with a dough lid, letting the trapped steam and slow, even heat work their magic for hours. The result is a unique, earthy char and a moist tenderness you just can't get from a standard kitchen stove.
