The self-built stone baking oven

 
Nothing is better than a homemade pizza or bread. Anyone who has smelled freshly baked bread from the oven knows what I mean. Whether you want to bake pizza or bread, the advantages of making your own at home are obvious.

First you can control the quality of the ingredients. You can also make special creations not available at the store or restaurant, and you can produce top quality products for less than you would pay someone else to make them. The popularity of home baking continues to grow for these reasons. I have found it to be a rewarding hobby since fulfilling my dream of many years of having a wood-burning oven in my garden.

If you have a desire to build a wood-burning oven I have documented the steps to construct one like mine using loam material. Having a plan can make a difficult project much easier.

 
 

Anyone who has property (or friendly neighbors with a yard) can build an oven with his own hands or with the help of a brick mason. To build a protective shed for the oven the help of a carpenter and/or roofer is helpful. Whether you tackle this project alone or with help will depend on your skill level.

Before commencing construction it is recommended that you obtain any permits required for construction in your area.

My oven is based on simple methods of loam construction that have been used in oven construction for centuries. In Italy one can find many examples of this type of oven. The oven works on the countercurrent principle. Cold air is drawn into the oven through the door in front. The air is heated by the oven and escapes through the exhaust pipe or column over the dome.

The following plans are dedicated mainly to the building of the oven. The plans for the shed or roof structure are simply suggested designs but many variations are possible. All mass and quantity data are approximations and are offered without guarantee.
