Random Sand Fact
Bread baked directly in sand?
Among Tuareg communities in Niger, taguella is baked without an oven. Dough is placed in a hollow in hot sand and covered with sand, ash and embers.
When the bread is ready, it is dug out and the sand brushed away. Despite being cooked directly in the sand, a crust forms and keeps the grains out.
