請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題
The Saharan regions of Morocco are home to the Berbers, an ethnic group native to North Africa. Madfouna—a stuffed
flatbread prepared by using a handful of staple ingredients—is traditionally baked in a fire pit in the sand or a mud oven,
and has long served as a wholesome meal for many Berber families. Once baked, the bread so closely resembles a pizza
that it is locally nicknamed "the Berber pizza."
Using an ancient Saharan bread recipe incorporating flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and water, the dough is kneaded and then
rolled into a round shape before being stretched over fillings—including beef, eggs, nuts, onions, and garlic, and herbs
and spices such as cumin, paprika, turmeric, ginger, and parsley—and pinched closed. Every family has their own version
of madfouna. Some use more basic ingredients such as eggs, tomatoes, and sunflower or poppy seeds, while others add
almonds, cashews, olives, lamb, chicken, minced beef, or slices of cooked steak. The options are virtually endless.
Whichever ingredients make up the filling, one thing is agreed upon across the region: the authentic methods of cooking
madfouna in desert sands or using a mud oven undoubtedly lead to the most delicious version, complete with an
unrivalled smoky taste that a modern, conventional oven cannot replicate.
Today, madfouna can mostly be found in small Berber pizza takeaway joints in Rissani, a sleepy Saharan town famed
for the dish. In Rissani, a slightly faster pace of life than in the desert leads to a greater demand for fast food. Tucked
within the narrow streets ofthe market and convenientlyplaced near the taxi stands lie small takeaway joints with "pizza"
symbols to mark where you can order a takeaway madfouna, the primary dish on the menu.
It’s not uncommon for these places to get so busy that people queue for more than an hour as the chefs rotate the orders
in the large fire ovens. Each madfouna is so particular to each individual’s tastes that locals often bring their own
fillings—sourced from trusted butchers or prepared at home by family members—which they ask the chefs to bake into
their orders.
