Building a Wood Fired Oven in a Day

This book is for anyone who’s dreamed of baking bread or pizza in their own outdoors woodfired oven, but always lacked the space, the skills to build one or the funds to buy one.

(Please note that all the measurements are metric and imperial; grams, ounces and cups; Celsius and Fahrenheit)

The Mini Wood Fired Oven costs less than a £100 to build. Its footprint is just one meter square (3 feet), it is fantastically simple to make, and you don’t have to make room to store it in your shed when the first frost comes.

Inspired by an ancient Croatian baking method, Dragan built the Mini Wood Fired Oven in our garden at The Artisan Bakery School in just one day. It makes a beautifully versatile alternative to the full-size wood fired oven we use to bake breads and make pizzas for the village.
