I really want to get this book, http://www.rumford.com/store/1890132055.html I will see if it is at the library for starters, but I think I could easily find a permanent home for it. hehe

Interesting

 

Part way down there is one that reminds me of the Pueblo ovens called "hornos" pronounced "or-no"

 

The Pueblo people sell their oven bread road side. It is very crusty and bland. They don't use much salt, if any. It makes delicous toast. I would compare it to English Muffin.

 

Horno Oven

 

This site has a recipe for the bread....

I forget to add the salt when I bake sometimes. lol I want an outdoor kitchen on day so knowing more about how these ovens work is valuable knowledge. I love baking bread.

 

Thanks for the links Rezgirl.

Wow...funny this thread came up... I was looking up how to make a brick outdoor oven just last weekend which led me to wood burning pizza ovens and then on to Horno's. I've decide the horno would be the easiest to build. You-tube had some nice videos on it. The biggest problem I had was finding clay to make it with. (All I have is sand). Then I ran across a guy who used dry clay kitty litter. Cool! And cheap too! When I get time, I'm going to try it.
