I'm enjoying Inea BUSHNAQ's book, Arab Folktales, published by
Pantheon Books, 1986. On p.47, she describes bread being cooked in the
following manner by a member of a raiding party: "He mixed flour with
water, enough to feed a whole band that is hungry and worn. He buried
the flat dough in hot ashes and covered it with sand. Then he waited."

I think that if I tried to do this, I would wind up eating a lot of
sand and ashes. Does someone know more precise instructions for this
method of baking bread?

Tony Bourdain liked it.
