Immerse yourself in the heart of Moroccan cuisine with a traditional bread-making workshop. Learn to prepare two distinct types of bread and two varieties of traditional pastries. Visit a local ferran, the communal oven where neighbors gather to bake, and experience the warmth of community baking.
Join the locals and learn the history and culture behind Morocco's public ovens. Most Moroccans prepare their food in a tagine, a clay pot of sorts placed over a fire. Personal ovens, even in wealthier homes, aren't the norm. However, Moroccans love bread, so how do they bake this staple? They use community ovens.
Many believe these public ovens bring the community together, working as one to feed their residents. Every town and city has community ovens, and now you can experience baking in one, too. After learning how to prepare the signature recipe in Morocco and baking your creations in the ovens, you can taste the fruits of your labor. For all the bread leftover, the community regularly donates it to the local orphanages.
After baking, savor the delicious results of your efforts, accompanied by refreshing Moroccan mint tea, fresh butter, and homemade jam. Whether in the old Medina of Fes, Marrakech, or Sefrou, this workshop offers a unique glimpse into one of the most cultural aspects of Morocco.
