This is a common method of making bread in some parts of the world.  I
recently saw pictures taken by someone who was in Iraq in 2008, and he
pointed out two women making bread in a similar way out front of one of the
abandoned and stripped building he had to inspect.  He bought one and was
rewarded with Montezuma's Revenge (maybe should be called Able's Revenge or
Hussein's Revenge in that part of the world?).
