Can tourists watch traditional Uzbek bread being baked?

Tourists can easily take a look at traditional Uzbek bread (non or lepyoshka) being baked in clay tandir ovens all across the country. Chorsu Bazaar in Tashkent and the Siab Bazaar in Samarkand give the most reachable and spectacular baking displays, so it feels almost unavoidable if you are already there.

Bread-making in Uzbekistan is crazy fast-paced, very skilled culinary work. Expert bakers smack the heavily ornamented dough straight onto the searing inside walls of the deep clay ovens, then pull the perfectly browned loaves out only minutes later, using special metal hooks. The smell is addictive, really, and getting a steaming hot loaf straight from the oven, often stamped with distinct local patterns, is a required eating moment for basically any visitor.
