Homas are traditional clay ovens used in various cultures, particularly in the Middle East and Central Asia. They are typically dome-shaped and are designed for cooking bread, such as naan or lavash, as well as other dishes. The heat is generated by burning wood or charcoal inside the oven, which creates a unique flavor in the food. These ovens have been used for centuries and are often found in homes, restaurants, and at community gatherings. The cooking process in a homa is efficient, allowing for high temperatures that cook food quickly while retaining moisture and enhancing taste.
