I’ve heard that in some Moroccan towns, families share communal bread ovens. How does this tradition work, and is it still practiced today?

Communal ovens, known as "ferran," are a central part of community life, where families bring their dough to bake fresh bread daily.

Each family marks their dough with a unique symbol to identify their loaves after baking.

This tradition is still common in rural areas and older neighborhoods of cities like Fez and Marrakech.

It’s also a social hub where neighbors exchange recipes and stories while waiting for their bread.
