About this experience
Non, the round Uzbek flatbread, is on every table in the country and is treated with real respect: it's never placed upside down and never thrown away. In Khiva you'll learn how it's made with a local host, from mixing the dough to stamping the pattern in the middle.
The best part is the tandoor — the clay oven where the bread is slapped onto the hot inner wall and baked in minutes. You'll try it yourself and taste the bread warm, straight from the oven, with tea.
