The Bread Man -- "Pyekar"

A "pyekar" is someone who specifically makes bread.  In our neighborhood there is a bread man who sells non, the local bread, out of what looks like a small garage.  He works in a space about 3'x6' every day, making 700 or so loaves a day.  He is so very nice, and he always lets Seth take a peek behind his curtain to see his work.  Vic starts saying "nana", his mantra for food, whenever we walk close to the bread garage.  We don't buy it everyday, just every time we walk that way.  It is 600 Uzbek syum a loaf, or about $0.25.  We have also bought the dough and made pizza.  Each loaf has the imprint of a flower in the center of the top and bottom.  It is lovely and delicious.

Non is, by definition, baked in a clay oven.
