The men who bake up a 'blessing' in Tehran

Bakeries are easy to locate in urban centres of Iran where all one has to do is spot a queue spilling onto sidewalks or simply detect the irresistible scent of freshly baked flatbreads. The baker moves and gesticulates constantly as he works in what resembles a dance in front of gas-fired ovens. Once they are done, the baker again uses the tongs to retrieve the bread, and hangs it on the wall or piles it up.
