Enough to drive you potty... A woman puts the finishing touches to one of many urn-shaped ovens she has made from mud and clay. The antiquity ovens will be used for cooking pita, lavash, kete, whole wheat bread and tandoori bread in regions of Turkey where using a conventional oven is not an option. Photographer Orhan Kartal, 55, of Batman, Turkey said, "In some regions of Turkey, bread cannot be made using a conventional oven. Therefore families bake the bread in these tandoors, outside in their garden." "Tandoors made of clay and earth are sold to those who wish to make and bake their own tandoori bread. Tandoori bread is consumed by more than half of Turkey's regions and families. Bread sold in bakeries is not preferred because they are processed wheat and therefore homemade Tandoori bread which is made from raw wheat and considered more healthy is cooked using this method."
