Tannour Bakehouse

Bread from the clay oven, every morning.

A small bakehouse built around one tannour. Flatbreads, manakish, loaves and pastries, baked from first light.

Everything starts at the tannour.

A tannour is a clay oven, open at the top and fired from below. Dough goes straight onto its hot inner wall. It is an old way to bake bread across the region, and it is the reason the bakehouse exists.

  1. The clay wall

    Thick clay holds heat long after the fire settles, so the walls do the baking.

  2. Dough on the wall

    Flatbread is pressed onto the clay and peeled off once it puffs and browns.

  3. The fire below

    Breads that sit close to the heat come out blistered and a little smoky.

The morning bakes

What the oven turns out once the clay is hot. The list moves with the season and the day.

  • Tannour bread

    Peeled off the oven wall. Soft in the middle, blistered at the edge.

  • Za'atar manakish

    Thyme, sesame and sumac on olive oil, baked thin.

  • Baguette

    A slow rise and a crust that crackles when you squeeze it.

  • Pies and fatayer

    Spinach, cheese or minced meat, folded into triangles.

  • Morning pastries

    Croissants and laminated bakes, out before the doors open.

Also on the list, depending on the day: sourdough, cheese manakish, muhammara rounds, sesame ka'ak and date pastries. Today's bakes are posted every morning on Instagram.
