adobe oven

Mud-brick baking chamber

An adobe oven is a dome-shaped outdoor oven made from adobe—sun-dried clay mixed with straw or other binding materials.

Traditional in the American Southwest and Latin America, these ovens retain heat exceptionally well for baking bread, roasting meat, and slow-cooking.

Also called a horno or beehive oven: She baked the bread in the adobe oven behind the house.
