About this product

Product Information

Earth ovens combine the utility of a wood-fired, retained-heat oven with the ease and timeless beauty of earthen construction. Building one will appeal to bakers, builders, and beginners of all kinds, from: - the serious or aspiring baker who wants the best low-cost bread oven, to - gardeners who want a centerpiece for a beautiful outdoor kitchen, to - outdoor chefs, to - creative people interested in low-cost materials and simple technology, to - teachers who want a multi-faceted, experiential project for students of all ages (the book has been successful with everyone from third-graders to adults). Build Your Own Earth Oven is fully illustrated with step-by-step directions, including how to tend the fire, and how to make perfect sourdough hearth loaves in the artisan tradition. The average do-it-yourselfer with a few tools and a scrap pile can build an oven for free, or close to it. Otherwise, $30 should cover all your materials--less than the price of a fancy "baking stone." Good building soil is often right in your back yard, under your feet. Build the simplest oven in a day With a bit more time and imagination, you can make a permanent foundation and a fire-breathing dragon-oven or any other shape you can dream up. Earth ovens are familiar to many that have seen a southwestern "horno" or a European "bee-hive" oven. The idea, pioneered by Egyptian bakers in the second millennium BCE, is simplicity itself: fill the oven with wood, light a fire, and let it burn down to ashes. The dense, 3- to 12-inch-thick earthen walls hold and store the heat of the fire, the baker sweeps the floor clean, and the hot oven walls radiate steady, intense heat for hours. Home bakers who can't afford a fancy, steam-injected bread oven will be delighted to find that a simple earth oven can produce loaves to equal the fanciest "artisan" bakery. It also makes delicious roast meats, cakes, pies, pizzas, and other creations. Pizza cooks to perfection in three minutes or less. Vegetables, herbs, and potatoes drizzled with olive oil roast up in minutes for a simple, elegant, and delicious meal. Efficient cooks will find the residual heat useful for slow-baked dishes, and even for drying surplus produce, or incubating homemade yogurt.

  • INformative and Easy to understand

    While I haven't put anything I've learned from this book into practice, Denzer offers an easy to follow guide to the idea of Mud/earth oven. Sure some of it is hippy stuff but it doesn't hurt the message of the book. It isn't written in the style of a manual or some sort of manifesto telling you to change your life and stop wearing shoes, but a simple guide written with words easily understood by any one that can read english. The pictures were great though there could have been more, just to serve for inspiration for those unable to find a computer to research Earth ovens. Overall I'm keeping this book, just in case civilization forgets how to make bread, along with my books on booze making.

  • Build Your Own Earth Oven by Kiko Denzer

    I wish I would have ordered this book 1st!! I've been interested in wood fire bread ovens for some time now and have bought several more expensive books.... this book is really well written and has convinced me that I can now build a traditional oven out of simple materials from the mother earth. I plan on doing so for a class project at school. The book has many many examples of simple but very functional earth ovens.... great book, well written, great examples.... you won't need another book on this subject after you purchase this one. mpcac

  • Glad I bought this book, looking forward to some wood oven pizza!!

    Nice!! Looking forward to building my own Earth Oven (cause I couldn't afford to have a custom Pizza Oven built in the back yard). Instructions appear to be easy to follow, with good recommenations, and tips. Furthermore, various artistic examples (photos) attempt to inspire the future Earth Oven builder to be creative in their build. Cool book.

  • Bread Oven

    Excellent book. Good illustrations and directions. I would advise searching out different people that have actually made one and getting their advice and perhaps looking at one already built. I had done quite a bit of research on the internet concerning outdoor bread ovens and had not found very much. I did come across this book but did not buy it. I then met someone who did and they recommended it highly.

  • great book

    Great book - lots of good ideas on building a backyard clay oven.
