Der Holzbackofen

Building - Practice - Recipes

Baking with a wood-fired oven is a very original way of preparing food. You can grill, boil, stew, bake, gratin and smoke food in it. In this era characterised by technology, meals from the wood-fired oven are a special taste experience. This is due to the original preparation methods in the wood-fired oven. The radiant heat from the stones gives the baked goods their unique taste. In this book we provide the wood-fired oven owner with a simple to understand guide for the assembly and bricking of a wood-fired oven. The functionality of the oven is as simple as it is ingenious, and the operation is also childs play, but it is important, for example, that the oven is carefully heated up before the first use. Cooking times, baking times and baking temperatures should also be observed, and the wood should also be ready in the correct amount. In an additional chapter we present valuable tips and tricks for operating a wood-fired oven, e.g. you will discover that you can dry mushrooms or fruit with the residual heat. Many special recipes tailored to the wood-fired oven (such as bread, pizza, tartes flambées, grill specialities, desserts like baked apples and other culinary delights) round off the book. Look forward to your own homemade wood-fired oven specialities!
