Frena (moroccan Focaccia)
Frena is a traditional Moroccan bread, which was used to bake in the local communal oven ("Frena" in Moroccan Arabic), on top of burning hot pebbles. This bread has a thin crust and a fluffy crumb, absolutely delicious! It's the first time I'm baking pebbles and guys- it is such an interesting method. The dough is placed directly on the burning pebbles, creating each time a super unique pattern on the bottom of the bread. There are different versions of how to bake the frena bread, one of them is baking in an electric pot (top and bottom heat), but I believe most of you do not have it and I do not want anything to limit you in baking. You can find pebbles in any gardening shop (Just wash them well before use).
