bread ovens
Loaf-cooking enclosures
Bread ovens are ovens designed or used specifically for baking bread, typically capable of reaching and maintaining the high temperatures needed for proper crust formation.
Traditional bread ovens were often wood-fired structures built of brick or stone, with domed interiors that retained and radiated heat evenly.
The bakery still uses the original brick bread oven from 1920.
Modern home bakers sometimes invest in specialized bread ovens to replicate artisan results.
