Baking Plate

Baking Plate

A baking plate was a round plate made of pottery or metal, which was used to bake bread on. The baking plate was placed above the fire on a few stones. After that, a thin round slab of dough was placed on it and baked into bread.

Bedouins

As the baking plate was easy to transport, it was very convenient for travelling people. Baking plates are still used by Bedouins in the Middle East.
