If you haven’t yet, you have to check out Kiko Denzer’s ‘Build Your Own Earth Oven’. It includes a more natural, local and playful approach to building your own oven, and a wonderful chapter on sourdough bread baking. A pleasure read to say the least.

The color of that green door behind the baker is just perfect. Must have that color!

Beautiful write up and pastry! Well done! Just got word that my brother had finished his wood burning oven in his new backyard so we are all invited to Toulous! (I’d better give him the heads up!!)

My mouth is watering and my heart is wishing I had a bigger yard to build my own wood-burning oven (it’d make baking in the summer much more likely). How’s yours coming

I love all of these Asheville stories. The people are so passionate and humble and creative; it’s inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for reminding me of my new favorite savory treat AND the latest addition to my “last meal list” …beets, chevre, rosemary in a crusty, heavenly pastry. Mmm! Glad to hear Todd is making strides to be Steve “when he grows up” w/ plans for an oven. For the time being, I’m content w/ stalking Steve and Dave at our local tailgate markets.

Our best friend built his own oven. In this article he shares some of his resources.

For the longest time I have been wanted a wood-fired brick oven. Maybe someday if we move out in the country. We can’t built one in the city. Hope you’ll get more info about it. I’m very interested.

What a great trip. Beautiful pictures, we feel we were there with you. Thanks!
