Weighing the dough in equal parts was the first step.

Then let the dough rise for some time

Then next step is to pinch it to remove all the air and make it go flat to make the traditional Ftira, these would be soft and not crusty like the normal loaf and flat
Stoking the fire - still uses wood to heat the oven, but also has a blower to help things along
The loaves are awaiting to go into that furnace, wow it looks hot
The baker chooses the best tool to put the leaves in with, a long one for sure
And here he is in the warm glow from the open oven, concentrating on putting in as many as possible.  The oven takes 250 Loaves at 1 go
Easy does it, slowly but surely it is being filled in
The baker
Behind every man there is a woman, the bakers wife who was packing the fresh bread at 11.30pm.
