Building a Wood-fired Oven for Bread and Pizza by Tom Jaine
Now into its 13th edition, this bestselling instruction manual for the ultra-keen breadmaker and DIY enthusiast shows how to build a substantial bread oven in the yard or garden. Together with detailed plans (which do not omit a single block or brick) and a step-by-step specification, the book doubles up as an essay on English bread baking in previous centuries, with special reference to the hardware, equipment and working methods. There is plenty here to interest the reader who is not necessarily going to embark on the building project. There are other books on the subject, but few give as much historical context. The book closes with a couple of recipes. Those with enthusiasm for good bread and for baking it themselves will enjoy this book.
