| The tamdyr, a traditional clay oven that is often built into the walls of Turkmen homes or in the courtyards, plays a vital role in the baking process of çörek. Made with a unique mixture of clay, straw, and water, the tamdyr reaches very high temperatures, allowing the bread to bake quickly while creating a crispy, slightly charred crust and a soft, fluffy interior.
